Q

Diseases that are caused by circulating immune complexes are trapped how in the glomeruli?

A

Antigen-Antibody complexes get trapped due to the glomeruli hemodynamics
– not because they are reacting with intrinsic tissue

21
Q

Diffuse linear immunofluorescence pattern suggests that the antibodies are against?

22
Q

Granular immunofluorescence suggests that the antibodies are against?

A

Intrinsic tissue antigens or planted antigens

– in situ formation of complexes

23
Q

ALL immune complex depositions in the glomeruli cause what to occur?
