Phospholipid of the Rat Glomerular Basement Membrane
Phospholipids were found to be a constant component of rat glomerular basementmembrane preparations. The concentration fell during preparation of basement membrane by sonication of whole glomeruli, but then remained constant despite continued sonication. The proportions of the individual phospholipids were different from those of whole renal tissue or of isolated glomeruli. The basement-membran...
متن کاملBovine Glomerular Basement Membrane
The collagenous domain of bovine glomerular basement membrane was excised in soluble form by limited pepsin digestion and characterized. The domain amounts to approximately 25% of the whole membrane by weight. The constituent polypeptides were studied using several electrophoresis systems and amino acid analysis. The electrophoresis systems used were a combination of agarose and polyacrylamide...
متن کاملGlomerular Basement Membrane
The noncollagenous domain hexamer of collagen IV from bovine glomerular basement membrane was further investigated to determine the types of collagen chain from which subunits M2*b and M3 are derived. M2*b was shown to be a shorter form, containing 9 fewer residues, of M2*a which was previously established as the noncollagenous domain of a third chain, a3, of collagen IV (Saus, J., Wieslander, ...
متن کاملDegradation of renal basement membrane by neutral proteinases from rabbit polymorphonuclear leucocytes [proceedings].
Studies of the pathogenesis of glomerular disease have suggested that polymorphonuclear leucocytes promote glomerular damage. The pattern of events observed in the autologous phase of nephrotoxic serum nephritis in rabbits indicates that the fixation of antibodies to glomerular basement membrane initiates the activation and binding of complement. This results in the chemotaxis of polymorphonucl...
متن کاملAnti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies.
Basement membranes form an anatomic barrier that contains connective tissue. They are composed of type IV collagen, laminin and proteoglycans. Anti-basement membrane antibodies bind to the non-collagen site of the α3 chain of type IV collagen. A group of renal diseases, pulmonary diseases and perhaps others affecting different organs have long been associated with the presence of antibodies dir...
