abstract：BACKGROUND:Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a rare systemic autoimmune disease characterized by small-vessel vasculitis leading to organ damage and the presence of antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCAs). ANCAs were shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease by increasing adhesion of polymorphonu...
