“New
insights into the pathogenesis of ANCA vasculitis: Monoclonal anti-MPO
antibodies and the role of the NLRP3 inflammasome”
MPO-ANCA vasculitis is
characterised by both T cell and B cell immunity to a neutrophil protein,
myeloperoxidase; the presence of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, or
ANCA; and small vessel vasculitis which commonly affects the kidneys. This
pre-submission seminar focusses on two aspects of ANCA vasculitis.

autoimmune kidney disease and kidney transplantation. She is currently
completing a laboratory based PhD which focuses on aspects of ANCA associated
vasculitis, and also has a clinical appointment as a Nephrologist at Alfred
