Hereditary C2 deficiency associated with non-systemic glomerulonephritis. 1979

A patient with non-systemic idiopathic glomerulonephritis was found to have a complete deficiency of C2, the second component of complement. The clinical course, histological findings and serological abnormalities are reported in detail. The renal disease was a mild glomerulonephritis with mesangial and subendothelial immune deposits comprising IgG, IgM and C3, increased mesangial matrix without significant cell proliferation. An immunogenetic analysis of the patient's family was carried out. It was demonstrated that the homozygous C2 deficiency was associated with heterozygotism for HLA-A, B and D. Only one of the C2 deficient genes was associated with the expected HLA-A10, B18 haplotype and the propositus was HLA-D2 negative. This report confirms the fact that non-systemic glomerulonephritis should be included in the variety of immunological disorders associated with a complement deficient state. However, C2 deficiency does not seem to be related specifically to a given histological variety of glomerulonephritis.

D003175 Complement C2 A component of the CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY. C2 is cleaved by activated COMPLEMENT C1S into COMPLEMENT C2B and COMPLEMENT C2A. C2a, the COOH-terminal fragment containing a SERINE PROTEASE, combines with COMPLEMENT C4B to form C4b2a (CLASSICAL PATHWAY C3 CONVERTASE) and subsequent C4b2a3b (CLASSICAL PATHWAY C5 CONVERTASE).

D003176 Complement C3 A glycoprotein that is central in both the classical and the alternative pathway of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION. C3 can be cleaved into COMPLEMENT C3A and COMPLEMENT C3B, spontaneously at low level or by C3 CONVERTASE at high level. The smaller fragment C3a is an ANAPHYLATOXIN and mediator of local inflammatory process. The larger fragment C3b binds with C3 convertase to form C5 convertase.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

D005921 Glomerulonephritis Inflammation of the renal glomeruli (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS) that can be classified by the type of glomerular injuries including antibody deposition, complement activation, cellular proliferation, and glomerulosclerosis. These structural and functional abnormalities usually lead to HEMATURIA; PROTEINURIA; HYPERTENSION; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Bright Disease,Kidney Scarring,Glomerulonephritides,Scarring, Kidney
