Immunofluorescence antigen mapping for hereditary epidermolysis bullosa.
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of inherited, mechanobullous disorders that are caused by mutations in the structural proteins in the epidermis or dermoepidermal junction. Characteristic clinical picture is the presence of blisters at trauma prone areas of the body, which develops at or soon after birth. Availability of specific monoclonal antibodies against the target proteins together w...
متن کاملImmunological mapping in hereditary epidermolysis bullosa.
Immunological mapping, an immunofluorescence technique, is currently the method most used to diagnose and differentiate the principal types of hereditary epidermolysis bullosa, since this technique is capable of determining the level of cleavage of this mechanobullous disease.
متن کامل[Immunofluorescence mapping for diagnosis of congenital epidermolysis bullosa].
The tools for diagnosis of epidermolysis bullosa have advanced greatly since Hintner's group introduced antigen mapping as a diagnostic test for this family of genodermatoses. Monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies raised against some of the specific proteins found in the epidermis and basement membrane of the epidermis have allowed 4 types of epidermolysis bullosa de be identified and all variant...
متن کاملDental caries risk in hereditary epidermolysis bullosa.
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a clinically diverse group of conditions characterized by skin fragility and, in certain types, marked dental involvement. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of dental caries in EB and control populations. Healthy individuals and participants from the Southern Clinical Center of the National EB Registry were examined with artificial light and...
متن کاملA comparative study between transmission electron microscopy and immunofluorescence mapping in the diagnosis of epidermolysis bullosa.
The classification of epidermolysis bullosa (EB) into 3 main subtypes has been based on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) that is able to directly visualize and quantify specific ultrastructural features. Immunofluorescence antigenic mapping (IFM) is a technique that determines the precise level of skin cleavage by determining binding sites for a series of antibodies. To date, no study has...
