Title: Ultrastructural "fingerprint" in cryoprecipitate and glomerular deposits: a case report of systemic lupus erythematosus. Author: Kim YH, Choi YJ, Reiner L. Journal: Hum Pathol; 1981 Jan; 12(1):86-9. PubMed ID: 7203457. Abstract: A 20 year old woman had lupus nephritis and cryoglobulinemia. The cryoglobulins isolated from the serum and a renal biopsy specimen were studied by means of immunofluorescence, immunochemistry, and electron microscopy. Ultrastructural "fingerprint" structures were observed both in the cryoprecipitate and in the glomerular deposits, as were IgG, IgM, and IgA. These observations furnish morphologic evidence for the glomerular deposition of cryoglobulins in lupus nephritis.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
