IgA nephropathy (IgAN), the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis, is recognized
as a tonsil-related diseases since it often gets worse after and/or during acute tonsillitis and
the disease progression is often prevented by tonsillectomy. Although several reports
showed an increase in IgA production of tonsillar mononuclear cells (TMCs), its mechanism
has not yet been fully clarified. Recently, B-cell-activation factor (BAFF), which stimulates B-
cell proliferation and immunoglobulin production, was identified. Unmethylated deoxycytidyl …
