Serial functional affinity of autoantibodies in anti-glomerular basement membrane disease.

Anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease is caused by an autoantibody directed against an epitope on the alpha 3 chain of type IV collagen. Animal models demonstrate that the higher the affinity of such antibodies, the greater the degree of glomerular injury. Affinity maturation (the process...
