Distinct Epitopes for Anti–Glomerular Basement Membrane Alport Alloantibodies and Goodpasture Autoantibodies within the Noncollagenous Domain of α3(IV) Collagen

Abstract: Alport posttransplantation anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) nephritis is mediated by alloantibodies against the noncollagenous (NC1) domains of the ␣3␣4␣5(IV) collagen network, which is present in the GBM of the allograft but absent from Alport kidneys. The specificity of kidney-bound anti-GBM alloantibodies from a patient who had autosomal recessive Alport syndrome (ARAS) and developed posttransplantation nephritis was compared with that of Goodpasture autoantibodies from patients with autoimmune anti-… Show more

“…24 and our own unpublished data), rheumatoid arthritis (collagen II, a major component of cartilage) (25), and Goodpasture's disease (collagen IV) (26). This correlation led us to consider that if the MR contributed to Ag presentation in vivo it could mediate the inappropriate presentation of its endogenous ligands to the acquired immune system.…”

“…8 For comparison, we used previously described Goodpasture sera. 28 Normal human sera (Innovative Research, Novi, MI) were used as negative controls. We also evaluated the presence of alloantibodies in archived serum samples from 12 transplanted X-linked Alport syndrome patients who did not develop APTN.…”

“…Following kidney transplantation, the presence of "foreign" collagen IV chains can cause Alport's posttransplantation anti-GBM nephritis. In autosomal recessive Alport's syndrome the epitopes are located in the NC1 domains of Col4a3 or Col4a4 (Hudson et al 2003;Wang et al 2005) whilst X-linked patients develop alloantibodies targeting epitopes on COL4A5 (Brainwood et al 1998;Kang et al 2007). However in contrast to the cryptic Goodpasture epitopes, the epitopes are accessible in the NC1 hexamer indicating that separate mechanisms may exist (Kang et al 2007).…”
