purpura/arachis hypogaea

OBJECTIVE To examine O-linked glycosylation of serum IgA1 in children with acute Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP). METHODS The O-linked oligosaccharides of serum IgA1 from 28 children with acute HSP and 26 control children were examined by enzyme immunoassay using plant lectins with well defined

Currently there are no definitive criteria for identification of the nephron segment origin of tubular cells in renal fine-needle aspirates. This information would be useful for determining the cortical or medullary location of aspirate specimens. To establish morphologic criteria for identifying

Many renal diseases involving the tubular epithelium appear to preferentially affect certain nephron segments. While major portions of the nephron, such as proximal and distal convoluted tubules and collecting ducts, can be identified in the normal kidney, the distinction of diseased nephron
