Antibodies to M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) in membranous lupus nephritis.

abstract：:Patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) produce antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) and develop vascular thrombosis that may occur in large or small vessels in the arterial or venous beds. On the other hand, many individuals produce aPL and yet never develop thrombotic events. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) appears t...
