Differentiating antiepiligrin cicatricial pemphigoid from epidermolysis bullosa acquisita by indirect immunofluorescence of skin substrates lacking Type VII collagen or laminin 332: a case report and review of literature

Differentiating antiepiligrin cicatricial pemphigoid from epidermolysis bullosa acquisita by indirect immunofluorescence of skin substrates lacking Type VII collagen or laminin 332: a case report and review of literature

Antiepiligrin cicatricial pemphigoid (AECP) is a chronic autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease characterized by clinical features of cicatricial pemphigoid and circulating IgG antibasement membrane autoantibodies directed against laminin 332.
