The evidence in suppo is the characteristic linear deposits of anti-GBM antibodies consisting of IgG and complement along the GBM, detection of circulating anti-GBM antibodies and induction of glomerular lesions with an injection of anti-GBM antibodies experimentally in monkeys Ref: Textbook of pathology Harsh Mohan 6th edition page 667
