Significance of M2 macrophages in glomerulonephritis with crescents
J Li, YF Yu, CH Liu, CM Wang - Pathology-Research and Practice, 2017 - Elsevier
Objectives CD163 and CD206, markers of M2 macrophages, possesses anti-inflammatory
properties. This study aims to investigate the clinicopathologic significance of M2
macrophages in patients of glomerulonephritis with crescents. Methods Renal tissue
samples from patients of glomerulonephritis with more than 30% cell or cell-fibrous
crescents, including lupus nephritis (LN, n= 14), anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-
associated vasculitis (AAV, n= 14), IgA nephropathy (IgAN)(n= 11), Henoch Schonlein …
