The current Study aimed to investigate the association between antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) immunoglobulin (Ig) G subclass distribution and the severity of anti-GBM nephritis in human beings. Natural anti-GBM IgG affinity purified from five healthy donors was defined as group A. A total of 73 Chinese patients with anti-GBM disease were divided into three groups (groups B, C, and D) according to their serum creatinine (Scr) on diagnosis. Anti-GBM IgG Subclasses were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using recombinant human noncollagenous domain 1 of type IV collagen of the alpha 3 chain [rH alpha 3(IV)NC1]. Anti-GBM IgG I Could not be detected in group A (0%), appeared in group B (7.7%), was significantly higher in group C (69%), and was the highest in group D (93.5%). The frequency of IgG3 ill groups C and D was significantly higher than that in groups A and B. In group A, anti-GBM IgG subclass distribution was restricted to IgG4 and IgG2; in group B, IgG2 and IgG4 remained the Major Subclasses with detectable IgG I : in group C, IgG I became predominant and IgG3 was detectable; ill group D, four IgG Subclasses Could be detected. Ill conclusion, anti-GBM autoantibody IgG subclass distribution was associated with disease severity. IgG I and IgG3 may play a major role in the initiation and progression of the disease.
