Diagnosis of Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita: Multicentre Comparison of Different Assays for Serum Anti-type VII Collagen Reactivity [PDF]
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is a pemphigoid disease characterized by autoantibodies against type VII collagen. This study compared the sensitivity and specificity of 6 diagnostic assays: type VII collagen non-collagenous domains enzyme-linked ...

Anti-Type VII Collagen Antibodies Are Identified in a Subpopulation of Bullous Pemphigoid Patients With Relapse [PDF]
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune bullous skin disease characterized by anti-BP180 and anti-BP230 autoantibodies (AAbs). Mucous membrane involvement is an uncommon clinical feature of BP which may evoke epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, another ...

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Generation of COL7A1-Deficient Keratinocyte Model of Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa [PDF]
Objective: Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a genetic skin fragility and ultimately lethal blisteringdisease caused by mutations in the COL7A1 gene which is responsible for coding type VII collagen.
