Anti-PLA2R1 Antibodies Containing Sera Induce In Vitro Cytotoxicity Mediated by Complement Activation by Maël Lateb, Hajar Ouahmi, Christine Payré, Vesna Brglez, Kevin Zorzi, Guillaume Dolla, Mohamad Zaidan, Sonia Boyer-Suavet, Bertrand Knebelmann, Thomas Crépin, Cécile Courivaud, Noémie Jourde-Chiche, Vincent Esnault, Gérard Lambeau, Barbara Seitz-Polski

“…Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that high level of cytotoxicity (≥40%) (p=0.005), epitope spreading (defined by immunization beyond the immunodominant CysR domain) (p=0.002), and high titer of anti-PLA2R1 total IgG (p=0.01) were factors of poor renal prognosis. Anti-PLA2R1 antibodies containing sera can induce in vitro cytotoxicity mediated by complement activation, and the level of cytotoxicity increases with the diversity and the titer of anti-PLA2R1 IgG subclasses. …”
