Th1/Th17 cell recognition of desmoglein 3 and bullous pemphigoid antigen 180 in lichen planus

We identified Th1/Th17 cell responses against desmoglein 3 and bullous pemphigoid antigen 180 in lichen planus. In contrast, patients with pemphigus vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid showed significantly higher Th2 cell responses against these autoantigens.
