Through the epidermal analysis of 13 patients with bullous pemphigoid compared to controls, using OKT6 monoclonal antibodies on the light microscopic level and electron-microscopy, we found a redistribution of the Langerhans´ cells towards the basal membrane in combination with an increased total number of Langerhans´ cells. This redistribution was also noted in clinically normal skin from patients with bullous pemphigoid. The findings may be consistent with the theory of antigen presentation.Downloads
