Abstract excerpt
Herlitz junctional epidermolysis bullosa (H-JEB) is characterized by a reduced adherence of keratinocytes consequent to deficient expression of the extracellular adhesive ligand laminin-5. To complement the genetic defect causing H-JEB, we transferred an eukaryotic cassette expressing the cDNA for the gamma2 chain of laminin-5 into H-JEB keratinocytes in which the expression of the polypeptide is hampered by a...
