Abstract

Sulfur mustard (bis [2-chloroethyl] sulfide, HD) is a potent cutaneous vesicant that causes gross blisters by separation of the epidermal-dermal junction (EDJ). The EDJ of the skin is a highly specialized and complex structure composed of several components and plays a major role in the integrity of the skin. The isolated perfused porcine skin flap (IPPSF) was dosed with 0.2 mg/ml (n = 4), 5.0 mg/ml (n = 4), and 10.0 mg/ml (n = 5) HD or ethanol (n = 4) for 8 hr (dose-response study) and 10.0 mg/ml HD or ethanol for 1, 3, 5, and 8 hr (n = 4/treatment) (time-response study). Successful EDJ mapping was carried out in normal pig skin (NPS), ethanol-treated IPPSFs, and HD-treated IPPSFs using the following antibodies: laminin, type IV collagen, fibronectin, GB3 (Nicein), bullous pemphigoid (BP), and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA). Two mouse anti-human monoclonal antibodies, L3d and 19-DEJ-1 (Uncein), did not cross-react with the EDJ of the pig. Antibody staining in NPS, ranging from very intense for laminin and type IV collagen to weak for fibronectin, was generally more discrete than in the IPPSF. No differences in staining were noted between the ethanol and nonblistered areas of the HD-treated IPPSFs. In HD-blistered areas,...Continue Reading

Basement membranes are thin, specialized extracellular matrices surrounding most tissues in all metazoans. Here is the latest research on basement membranes.

Bullous Pemphigoid

Bullous pemphigoid is a rare immune system disorder and skin condition that causes large, fluid-filled blisters. Bullous pemphigoid commonly affects older adults and appears in areas such as the lower abdomen, upper thighs or armpits. Discover the latest research on bullous pemphigoid here.
