Definition
English
:
An IgG autoantibody against the ALTERNATIVE PATHWAY C3 CONVERTASE, found in serum of
patients
with MESANGIOCAPILLARY
GLOMERULONEPHRITIS
. The binding of this autoantibody to C3bBb stabilizes the enzyme thus reduces the actions of C3b inactivators (
COMPLEMENT FACTOR H
;
COMPLEMENT FACTOR I
). This abnormally stabilized enzyme induces a continuous
COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION
and generation of C3b thereby promoting the assembly of MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX and cytolysis.
Pharmacological Action:
Immunologic Factors
Complement Inactivating Agents
