The dysfunction of BP180/collagen XVII in keratinocytes promotes melanoma progression [PDF]
BP180, also termed collagen XVII, is a hemidesmosomal transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in basal keratinocytes, and functions as a cell-matrix adhesion molecule in the dermal-epidermal junction of the skin. Its function, other than cell-matrix adhesion, remains unclear.

Incidence of P200 pemphigoid: A nationwide study
The anti‐LAMB4 cell‐based immunoassay is a new serological technique that is far superior to dermal immunoblotting for detecting autoantibodies directed against the P200 protein. This method allows a re‐evaluation of the incidence of P200 pemphigoid, which appears to be considerably more frequent than epidermolysis bullosa acquisita.

Prevalence of Skin-specific Autoantibodies in HIV-infected Patients and Uninfected Controls
Various autoantibodies are detected more frequently in HIV-infected individuals than in HIV-negative controls; however, limited data exist regarding autoimmune blistering skin diseases.

ABSTRACT Objectives Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) is the gold standard for diagnosing subepidermal blistering diseases (SBDs). However, DIF requires specialized expertise; therefore, alternative immunological methods such as enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) are worth exploring. The aim of this review was to evaluate the diagnostic agreement

Bullous dermatoses secondary to anti-PD-L1 agents: a case report and review of the literature [PDF]
Immune checkpoint inhibitors are used to treat numerous malignancies but may be associated with severe adverse events. Bullous dermatoses, chiefly bullous pemphigoid (BP), are potentially progressive adverse events that cause blistering skin lesions and ...

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune and inflammatory skin disease associated with subepidermal blistering and autoantibodies directed against the hemidesmosomal components BP180 and BP230. Animal models of BP were developed by passively transferring

The BP180 antigen is a hemidesmosomal glycoprotein that is recognized by autoantibodies associated with three autoimmune disorders, bullous pemphigoid (BP), herpes gestationis (HG), and cicatricial pemphigoid (CP). BP and HG sera have been shown to recognize a common extracellular site located near the membrane-spanning domain of this protein, whereas ...

Neutrophils in animal models of autoimmune disease [PDF]
Neutrophils have traditionally been thought to play only a peripheral role in the genesis of many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. However, recent studies in a variety of animal models suggest that these cells are central to the initiation and ...
