Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deposits of C3 complement and properdin in the glomerular basement membranes, visible by electron microscopy in the form of ribbon-like densities and associated with low serum complement, are typical of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type II. This kidney disease is caused by C3 nephritic factor, an autoantibody binding to the alternative complement pathway regulating enzyme C3 convertase.
