The clinical expression of bullous pemphigoid is not determined by the specificity of the target antigen.
The major bullous pemphigoid (BP) antigen is a 220-240-kDa polypeptide, although some BP sera recognize bands of 180-200 kDa or lower molecular weight. We have investigated to what extent this heterogeneity of the target antigen accounts for the clinical diversity of BP. Immunoblotting studies again...
