Figure 1 Fluid phase inhibition of 10E4 biding to chemically modified heparan sulfate (HS). Symbols are: (•) HS, heparan sulfate containing N-sulfate, 6-O-sulfate, and 2-O-sulfate; (▪) CDSNAc-HS, completely desulfated, N-acetylated HS; (▴) CDSNS-HS, completely desulfated, N-sulfated HS; (X) NDSNAc-HS, N-desulfated, N-acetylated HS.

Figure 2 Immunohistochemical staining with heparan sulfate (HS) 10E4 antibody. (A) A glomerulus from a nondiabetic subject that demonstrates a linear staining pattern in the glomerular basement membrane and mesangial area (×400, score = 4). (B) A glomerulus from a patient with diabetic nephropathy with moderate mesangial expansion that shows diminished staining (×400, score = 2). (C) A glomerulus from a patient with diabetic nephropathy with severe mesangial expansion that shows that the staining intensity was totally diminished (×400, score = 0).

Figure 3 Score of intensity of human glomeruli stained immunohistochemically with heparan sulfate (HS) 10E4 antibody in nondiabetic subjects (subjects 1 through 3), diabetic subjects with normoalbuminuria (subjects 4 through 6) and overt proteinuria (subjects 7 through 11). Data are mean ±sem. Kidney International 1999 56, 650-658DOI: (10.1046/j.1523-1755.1999.00591.x) Copyright © 1999 International Society of Nephrology Terms and Conditions
