Urinary Modified C-Reactive Protein is Closely Associated with Tubulointerstitial Lesions in Lupus Nephritis

Figure 5

Colocalization of mCRP and IgG from patients with lupus nephritis: (a) the staining of mCRP and IgG was negative in the tubules of samples from normal controls; (b) blank control (PBS instead of primary anti-CRP antibodies); (c–d) mCRP was expressed in tubules of samples from patients with lupus nephritis, and IgG was deposited in the same areas. The renal staining of mCRP and IgG was partially merged. mCRP, modified C reactive protein.
