Detection of IgE autoantibodies to BP180 and BP230 and their relationship to clinical features in bullous pemphigoid

Abstract

The results of this study indicated that IgE autoantibodies to both BP180 and BP230 are frequently detected in BP sera. IgE anti-BP180 autoantibodies seemed to be pathogenic, while an association between IgE autoantibodies and inflammatory BP phenotype was not indicated.
