Abstract
Mice carrying a deletion in the NC14A domain of murine type XVII collagen begin scratching at age 2 months and then develop erosions, subepidermal vesicles, eosinophil-rich skin infiltrates, and autoantibodies directed against a 180 kDa skin protein that appears to be type XVII collagen. These mice represent a bullous pemphigoid animal model featuring pruritus in immunocompetent, mature, and largely unmanipulated animals.Entities:
