Identification of monoclonal antibodies against human renal glomerular endothelial cells in lupus nephritis that induce endothelial interferon-alpha production

Abstract Background The pathogenesis of lupus nephritis (LN) remains not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to explore the pathogenic roles of autoantibodies against human renal glomerular endothelial cells (HRGEC) in LN patients. Methods The serum levels of anti-HRGEC antibodies in systemic...
