Epitope analysis of sera from 20 patients with myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody- (MPO-ANCA) associated glomerulonephritis was examined by Western blotting using a panel set of recombinant deletion mutants of MPO. Sera from 19 patients reacted with recombinants of MPO heavy chain, whereas no serum reacted with the light chain regions. The high frequency sites were regions on the upstream of Met341 (Ha region), on the upstream of Met409 (Hb region) near the N-terminus of the MPO heavy chain and a region on the downstream of Gly598 (Hg region) near the C-terminus. The epitope recognition profiles were classified into 2 groups. Group A, which had 1 or 2 regions in Ha, Hb and Hg, and group B, which had all 3 regions.
