    Goodpasture's disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the deposition of pathogenic autoantibodies in basement membranes of kidney and lung, which induces rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and pulmonary hemorrhage. The target antigen is the α3NC1 domain of collagen IV, which is expres...

    Analysis of the specificity of Goodpasture's autoantibodies revealed a distinct subset of circulating and kidney-bound antiα5NC1 antibody, which is associated with loss of kidney function. Structural integrity of the α345NC1 hexamer is stabilized by the novel sulfilimine crosslinks conferring immu...

    We reviewed renal biopsy and autopsy specimens over 25 years from a major tertiary care U.S. children's hospital, diagnosing anti-GBM by clinical RPGN, crescentic glomerulonephritis, and linear immunofluorescence (IF) immunoglobulin G staining in patients under 18 years of age. We identified four...
