Autoantibody Profile of a Cohort of 54 Italian Patients with Linear IgA Bullous Dermatosis: LAD-1 Denoted as a Major Auto-antigen of the Lamina Lucida Subtype
Linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD) is characterized by presence of multiple IgA autoantibodies, and a comparatively lesser number of IgG antibodies, directed against different hemidesmosomal antigens.The main autoantigens are LAD-1, LABD-97, BP180 and BP230, type VII collagen and laminin 332.We retrospectively studied the serology of 54 Italian p
