Clinical Use
Order TestUse
This test detects autoantibodies specific to BP180 (a hemidesmosomal protein) in patient serum, serving as an aid in diagnosing bullous pemphigoid. Elevated anti‑BP180 IgG levels can be correlated with disease activity and may assist both initial diagnosis and monitoring of disease severity. ELISA‑based assays for BP180 provide sensitivity ranging up to ~95%, supporting clinical decision‑making in immunobullous disorders.
