NHP Models of IgA Nephropathy (IgAN)
The combined use of BSA, LPS, and CCl₄ impairs the clearance of excess IgA from the blood and glomeruli. This leads to pathological changes characterized primarily by the deposition of IgA-dominant immune complexes in the mesangial region, along with mesangial cell proliferation and increased mesangial matrix.

Figure 1. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) results of liver and kidney tissues. Increased IgA expression in the liver and deposition of IgA-antibody complexes and complement complexes near the glomeruli are observed in model animals (scale bar = 50 μm).
