PLA2R1 is the major autoantigen in membranous nephropathy, a human kidney disease.
Only human PLA2R1 has been used as antigen to measure anti-PLA2R1 autoantibodies.
We found rabbit PLA2R1 as an alternative antigen to human PLA2R1.
We found mouse PLA2R1 as a specific antigen detecting a subset of autoantibodies.
Rabbit and mouse ELISAs have different diagnosis and prognosis performances.
