Mesangial cells
participate indirectly in the glomerular filtration process by: |

Glomerular Dz |
glomerulonephritis
|
|
|
Antibody-antigen complexes are not immunologically targeted to glomerular components.
Glomerular Dz |
They are trapped in the glomerulus because of the filtration properties of the glomerular filtration barrier.
|
|
|
Autoantibodies can target domains of type
Glomerular Dz |
IV collagen,
|
|
|
Immune complexes can deposit between the endothelial cells of the glomerular capillaries and the basal lamina (subendothelial deposits), in the mesangium, and less frequently between the basal lamina and the foot processes of podocytes (subepithelial deposits).
