Abstract

Anti-laminin γ1 pemphigoid and anti-laminin-332 mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) are two dis-tinct autoimmune blistering diseases. Anti-laminin γ1 pemphigoid is characterized by autoantibodies to a 200-kDa acidic non-collagenous glycoprotein of the lower lamina lucida, while anti-laminin-332 MMP is characterized by autoantibodies to various subunits of laminin-332 of the basement membrane. We report here an extremely rare case of pemphigoid with au-toantibodies to both laminin γ1 and the γ2 subunit of laminin-332, which developed following the rejection response to the transplanted kidney.
