Detection of autoantibodies against BP180 and BP230 antigens as a method for diagnosis and follow up of patients with bullous pemphigoid
Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the possible relation of circulating autoantibodies against BP180 and BP230 with the activity of the disease and to evaluate the usefulness of the immunoenzymic method ELISA for diagnosis and follow up of patients with BP. Forty patients with newly diagnosed BP were enrolled. Fifteen healthy volunteers and fifteen patients with pemphigur vulgaris served blister fluids of other etiology were measured also. In our study, detection of anti BP180 and anti BP230 autoantibodies in serum and in blister fluid proved to be a sensitive diagnostic method. The most important conclusion is that BP180 ELISA could be a method with prognostic value, able to contribute significantly to the follow up of patients with bullous pemphigoid.
