Abstract excerpt
The nature and expression pattern of the 97 kDa linear IgA bullous dermatosis antigen (LAD-1) and its role in epidermolysis bullosa have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we examined the expression of LAD-1 in the skin specimens of 70 patients with the various subtypes of epidermolysis bullosa, including simplex (n = 23), junctional (n = 15), and dystrophic variants (n = 32). For immunolabeling, we used...
