Bullous pemphigoid, the most common autoimmune subepidermal bullous disorder, is associated with autoantibodies targeting antigenic sites clustered within the extracellular domain of BP180. To investigate epitope and subclass specificity of autoantibodies in bullous pemphigoid, we developed an en...
