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.

Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita in Children: Case Series
Background. Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is chronic disease accompanied with subepidermal blistering on skin and mucous membranes as a result of autoimmune aggression to type VII collagen.

Multiple milia formation in blistering diseases
Background: Milia are superficial keratinous cysts seen as pearly white, dome-shaped lesions 1–2 mm in diameter. Milia are associated with diseases that cause subepidermal blistering, such as hereditary forms of epidermolysis bullosa, epidermolysis ...

Development and validation of serological immunoassays in laminin γ-1 pemphigoid and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita [PDF]
Pemphigoid diseases encompass a heterogeneous group of subepidermal autoimmune bullous diseases of the skin and mucosa. These disorders are characterized by autoantibodies that target distinct structural proteins of the basement membrane zone which are ...

Background and Purpose Bruton tyrosine kinase (Btk) is essential for B cell function. Its role in myeloid cells is less understood. Greater insights into Btk significance in myeloid cells are needed to evaluate its potential as a therapeutic target during the effector phase of antibody‐induced autoimmune diseases, where inhibiting autoantibody ...

Automatic classification of serrated patterns in direct immunouorescence images [PDF]
Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) images are used by clinical experts for the diagnosis of autoimmune blistering diseases. The analysis of serration patterns in DIF images concerns two types of patterns, namely n- and u-serrated.

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
