A modified Neuhoff's colloidal Coomassie Blue G‐250 stain is reported, dubbed “blue silver”
on account of its considerably higher sensitivity, approaching the one of conventional silver …

Glomerular targets of autoimmunity in human membranous nephropathy are poorly understood.
Here, we used a combined proteomic approach to identify specific antibodies against …

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) formation is part of the neutrophil response to infections,
but excessive or inappropriate NETosis may trigger the production of autoantibodies and …

ABSTRACT. Podocin mutations (NPHS2 gene) are responsible for the autosomal recessive
form of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. As a result of a screening for these gene …

Results IgG 4 was the most common isotype for all antibodies; IgG 1 and IgG 3 were nearly
negligible. IgG 4 levels were positive in a significant proportion of MN patients (AR, 34%; …

The identification of glomerular auto-antigens in idiopathic human membranous
glomerulonephritis (MGN) is a crucial step towards the definition of the mechanisms of the disease. …

Even if nephrotic syndrome is characterized by massive urinary loss of major plasma proteins,
a clear structural characterization based on proteomics has never been reported. Urine …

Renal targets of autoimmunity in human lupus nephritis (LN) are unknown. We sought to
identify autoantibodies and glomerular target antigens in renal biopsy samples from patients …

Objective. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) expose modified antigens for autoantibodies
in vasculitis. Little is known about levels and removal pathways of NET in systemic lupus …

The risk of oxidative stress is high in preterm newborns. Room air exposure of an organism
primed to develop in a hypoxic environment, lacking antioxidant defenses, and subjected to …
