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.
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is an antibody whose primary response is to allergic reactions and parasitic infections. Most of the bodyâs IgE is bound to specialized tissue cells; little is available in the circulating blood. IgE binds to the membrane of special granulocytes called basophils in the circulating blood and mast cells in the tissues.
