Anti-BP180 and anti-BP230 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for diagnosis and disease activity tracking of bullous pemphigoid: A prospective cohort study

Autoantibodies against BP180 and BP230 play major roles in bullous pemphigoid (BP). We are the first to describe the values of serum anti-BP180 IgG and anti-BP230 IgG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for diagnosis and disease monitoring of BP among Thai patients.

A simple approach to identify functional antibody variable genes in murine hybridoma cells that coexpress aberrant kappa light transcripts by restriction enzyme digestion

Specific binding to target protein epitopes by a mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) relies on its variable domains. However, the isolation of functional variable gene transcripts is sometimes hindered by co-expression of aberrant transcripts in hybridoma cells.
