Fig 1.
Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical staining of HBsAg and HBcAg in glomerular deposits.
HBsAg (A and C) and HBcAg (B and D) are distributed along the glomerular capillary walls in a fine granular pattern. immunofluorescence (A and B, ×200) and immunohistochemical assays (C and D, HRP×400).

The clinical and laboratory data.
Fig 2.
Immunohistochemical staining of PLA2R in glomerular deposits (ALP ×400).
(A) In patients with minimal change disease there is very weak expression of PLA2R on the glomerular potocytes and it is recognized as negative result in this study. (B) In patients with PMN there is strongly stained PLA2R distributed along the glomerular capillary walls in a fine granular pattern.

Immunofluorescence assay of IgG and IgG4 in glomerular deposits (×400).
In patients with PMN IgG (A) and IgG4 (B) are distributed along the glomerular capillary walls in a fine granular pattern.
