ABSTRACT

Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a type of subepithelial autoimmune bullous disease, affecting various mucosae, occasionally with skin lesions. Both diagnosis and treatment of MMP are difficult. Although multiple autoantigens have been identified for MMP, the pathogenesis of MMP is still unclear. In this study, we presented a female MMP case with extensive oral mucosal lesions and skin lesions, particularly on the extremities. IgG and IgA autoantibodies against multiple autoantigens including BP180, laminin 332, integrinα6ß4 and desmoglein 3, and IgM autoantibodies against BP180 were identified during the disease course. Compared with IgG autoantibodies, the levels of IgA autoantibodies against various autoantigens decreased more significantly with improvement of clinical features after the initiation of treatments. Our findings indicated the importance of comprehensive autoantibody screening for different immunoglobulin types and autoantigens at multiple time points for the precise diagnosis of various autoimmune bullous diseases, and the significant involvement of IgA autoantibodies into the pathogenesis of MMP.

ABSTRACT

Anti-laminin (LM) 332-type mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a rare autoimmune bullous disease and was originally discovered as anti-epiligrin cicatricial pemphigoid. Anti-LM332-type MMP has clinical manifestations similar to those of other types of MMP and can only be distinguished through the detection of circulating autoantibodies against LM332. Our group and others have established a number of immunological methods with varying sensitivity and specificity for detection of anti-LM332 autoantibodies; however, none of the established methods has been widely used for clinical diagnosis. There is currently no unified standard treatment, and it is very difficult to completely cure anti-LM332-type MMP. In addition, an increasing body of evidence suggests that there may be a strong correlation between anti-LM332-type MMP and tumors. In this article, we review the current progression of diagnosis and treatment of anti-LM332-type MMP, as well as the possible correlation between anti-LM332-type MMP and tumors.

ABSTRACT

Autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs), presenting cutaneous and/or mucosal bullous lesions, are classified into pemphigus and pemphigoid diseases. A longtime observation for complicated AIBD cases is rarely reported. In this study, serum samples of one AIBD patient were collected at seven different time points during the disease course including a relapse, which were examined by our conventional and newly developed methods for the detection of autoantibodies. Interestingly, we found changes of both the presence and the titers of various autoantibodies in accordance with the changes of clinical features during the whole disease course, which indicated that the patient started as bullous pemphigoid and relapsed as concurrence of bullous pemphigoid and mucosal-dominant-type pemphigus vulgaris.

ABSTRACT

Immunoassay has been widely used in the screening of mycotoxins, which may be hazardous to the operator or the environment. This study was to develop a green way to measure zearalenone (ZEN) with a monoclonal ß-type anti-idiotype antibody (Ab2ß) against ZEN in place of ZEN standard. Six monoclonal ß-type anti-idiotype antibodies were prepared. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) value to ZEN of the six antibodies was between 34.45 ± 1.12-182.12 ± 15.40 nM. A green ELISA was then developed and validated. The quantitative conversion formula between ZEN and the monoclonal Ab2ß against ZEN was y = 0.092x0.722, R2 = 0.990. The working range was 2.63-100.64 ng ml-1. The recovery rate in spiked feed samples was from 82.15% to 102.79%, and the within-assay and between-assay coefficient variation (CV) level were less than 10.00%. A good correlation was obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC) to validate the developed method.
