Antibodies in the serum of patients with bullous pemphigoid (BP) target two hemidesmosomal
proteins, BP180 and BP230/bullous pemphigoid antigen (BPAG)1e [
[1]
]. In patients with BP who have only anti-BPAG1e antibodies, the autoantibodies primarily
react with the C-terminal domain of BPAG1e (BPAG1e-C) [

,
3
]. Recently, we found that adoptive transfer of splenocytes from conditional knockout
(K5-Cre;Bpag1-/-) mice immunized with murine BPAG1e-C leads to BP-like phenotypes in the recipient
immunodeficient mice [
