Goodpasture syndrome (GPS; also known as Goodpastureâs disease, antiglomerular basement antibody disease, or anti-GBM disease) is a rare autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the basement membrane in lungs and kidneys, leading to bleeding from the lungs and kidney failure.PS causes the abnormal production of anti-GBM antibodies, by the plasma cells of the blood. The anti-GBM antibodies attack the alveoli and glomeruli basement membranes. These antibodies bind their reactive epitopes to the basement membranes and activate the complement cascade, leading to the death of tagged cells.
There are several kinds of antiphospholipid antibodies. The three most widely measured are lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibody, and anti-Î² 2 glycoprotein I. These antibodies react with proteins in the blood that are bound to phospholipid, a type of fat molecule that is part of the normal cell membrane.utoantibodies are antibodies that are directed against oneâs self. Antiphospholipid antibodies interfere with the normal function of blood vessels, causing narrowing and irregularity of the vessel (vasculopathy), and by causing blood clots in the vessel (thrombosis).
