Journal ArticleDOI

RAS mutations in cutaneous squamous-cell carcinomas in patients treated with BRAF inhibitors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a molecular analysis to identify oncogenic mutations (HRAS, KRAS, NRAS, CDKN2A, and TP53) in the lesions from patients treated with the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib.
Journal ArticleDOI

A passive transfer model of the organ-specific autoimmune disease, bullous pemphigoid, using antibodies generated against the hemidesmosomal antigen, BP180.

TL;DR: Subepidermal blistering associated with the human skin diseases bullous pemphigoid and herpes gestationis has been thought to be an IgG autoantibody-mediated process; however, previous attempts to demonstrate the pathogenicity of patientAutoantibodies have been unsuccessful.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of complement in experimental bullous pemphigoid.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that anti-BP180 antibodies trigger subepidermal blistering in this BP model via complement activation, and this experimental model of BP should greatly facilitate future studies on the pathophysiology of autoantibody-mediated diseases of the dermal- Epidermal junction.
Journal ArticleDOI

A major role for neutrophils in experimental bullous pemphigoid

TL;DR: Findings provide the first direct evidence that neutrophils recruited to the skin via a C5-dependent pathway play an essential role in subepidermal blister formation in experimental BP, and suggest new directions for disease intervention.
