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.
Antibodies that target healthy proteins in the nucleus of your cells are called antinuclear antibodies, or ANAs. When the body receives signals to attack itself, autoimmune diseases like lupus, scleroderma, and mixed connective tissue disease can occur.ntibodies are proteins made by your immune system. They help your body recognize and fight infections. Normally antibodies target foreign materials, like bacteria and viruses, to help the immune system get rid of them.
