IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide, characterized by mesangial IgA1 deposits. We have previously demonstrated that IgAN patients have a hampered IgA immune response after mucosal challenge with a neoantigen. Dendritic cells are critically involved in the initiation of humoral immune responses, not only via activation of T-helper cells, but also via direct effect on naïve B cells. The aim of this study was to investigate the capacity of dendritic cells from IgAN patients to regulate IgA production.
