Clinical and immunological profiles of anti-BP230-type bullous pemphigoid: Restriction of epitopes to the C-terminal domain of BP230, shown by novel ELISAs of BP230-domain specific recombinant proteins

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To confirm that sera from some BP patients reactive exclusively to the BP230 and to study the clinical and immunological characteristics of this condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS: BP patients were divided into three groups: BP reactive only to BP230 (BP230-BP), BP reactive to both BP180 and BP230 (BP180-BP230-BP) and BP reactive only to BP180 (BP180-BP), based on the results of standard ELISAs for...
