The dominant humoral epitope in phospholipase A2 receptor-1: presentation matters when serving up a slice of π.

Phospholipase A2 receptor-1 (PLA2R), the major autoimmune target in primary membranous nephropathy,[1][1] is one of four mammalian members of the mannose receptor (MR) family, which consists of the MR (encoded by the MRC1 gene), Endo180 ( MRC2 ), DEC205 ( LY75 ), and PLA2R itself.[2][2] An
