Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an inflammatory subepidermal blistering disease associated with IgG autoimmune response to the hemidesmosomal protein, BP180. Using a passive transfer mouse model, our group has shown previously that antibodies murine BP180 (mBP180) ectodomain are capable of triggering skin closely mimics human BP. In this study, we investigated role neutrophils in immunopathogenesis model. BALB/c mice depleted circulating by treatment neutrophil-specific were no longer susceptible...
