The glomerular basement membrane antigen in Goodpasture syndrome is a collagenase-
resistant molecule with a monomer molecular weight of about 26,000. Type IV collagen
isolated from glomerular basement membrane contains collagenase-resistant sequences
within its structure. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay, and chemical analysis were used to demonstrate that the collagenase-resistant
sequences of type IV collagen contain Goodpasture antigen.
