IgAN patients* | Healthy controls | |

ST6-GalNAcI | N/D | N/D |
ST6-GalNAcII | 2.68 ± 0.11 | 1.97 ± 0.44 |
Data are presented as mean ± SD of crossing points normalized to the crossing points of β-actin, measured by RealTime RT-PCR. IgA1-producing B cells were generated from 4 patients with IgAN (total of 7 different clones) and 4 healthy controls (total of 7 different clones). The difference in the expression of ST6GalNAcII in the cells from IgAN patients and healthy controls was statistically significant, P < 0.01. N/D, not detected.
