Identification of the Skin Basement-Membrane Autoantigen in Epidermolysis Bullosa Acquisita
Abstract
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is an acquired chronic blistering disease of the skin, in which separation of the skin occurs in the basement-membrane zone between the epidermis and the dermis. There is evidence that blistering is initiated by an immune process. Using serum samples from nine patients as a source of antibodies, we have identified a major protein of the basement membrane of human skin that serves as the antigen (or target) for autoantibodies in this disorder. This previously unrecognized protein, which consists of two components of 290,000 and 145,000 daltons, is distinct from other known components of the basement membrane. These studies provide evidence that epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is a specific disease that is different from other primary bullous diseases, such as bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris, and suggest that the basement-membrane component that has been identified may have a role in normal epidermal-dermal adherence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
