Abstract
Background IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is characterised by the production of galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) antibodies. As the source of pathogenic antibodies, B cells are central to IgAN pathogenesis, but the B cell activation pathways as well as the potential B cell source of dysregulated IgA-secretion remain unknown.
