Lymphoid cells from 4 of 5 patients diagnosed as pemphigus vulgaris (PV) and 6 of 7 patients diagnosed as bullous pemphigoid (BP) demonstrated specific cell-mediated immunity by the production of migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in the presence of autotogous epidermal saline extracts. Clinical trea

Soluble E (sE)-selectin represents the soluble isoform of cellular E-selectin, an adhesion molecule synthesized only by endothelial cells. As a consequence, it may be considered a marker of endothelial activity. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the serum levels of sE-selectin in nine
Few and contrasting data are available in the literature concerning the levels of various cytokines in blister fluid (BF) and in the serum of patients affected with bullous pemphigoid (BP). Using commercially available ELISA kits, this study reports the levels of 11 cytokines detected both in BF and
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a blistering skin disease in which the patient develops autoantibodies to the epidermal basement membrane zone. Using postembedding immunogold electron microscopy, we previously demonstrated that autoantibodies against the 230-kDa BP antigen (BPAG1) bind to the intracellul
