Abstract excerpt
The inflammatory form of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is caused by autoantibodies against type VII collagen (C7), a component of the dermal-epidermal junction. We have previously shown that myeloid Src family kinases mediate skin inflammation triggered by anti-C7 antibodies. Here we identify the Syk tyrosine kinase as a critical component of autoantibody-induced skin inflammation downstream of Src family...
