Immunoglobulin A deposition in mesangial areas in control and high IgA strain of ddY (HIGA) mice after harvest at 25 weeks of age. (a,b) Representative photomicrographs of IgA deposition in mesangial areas in control (a) and HIGA (b) mice at 25 weeks of age. Deposition of IgA deposition was detected in mesangial areas and was increased significantly in HIGA mice. (Original magnification ×400.) (c) Semiquantitative analysis of IgA deposition in mesangial areas in control and HIGA mice at 25 weeks of age. Twenty glomeruli were examined for each mouse and an average percentage of IgA-positive areas was obtained for each mouse and used to calculate a ratio relative to the control. Data are the mean±SEM. *P < 0.01 compared with control.
