Immunization of AGE-modified albumin inhibits diabetic nephropathy progression in diabetic mice.

CONCLUSION: AGE-BSA and AGE-BSA-KLH immunizations inhibit the progression of DN. Our results strengthen the evidence that the anti-AGE antibodies have a protective role against diabetic vascular complication, especially DN. This study provides a basis for the development of DN-based immunotherapy with AGE immunization as a potential candidate. PMID: 26346342 [PubMed]
