The Bullous Pemphigoid BP180 Antibody Test measures antibodies directed against BP180 (type XVII collagen), a protein found in the basement membrane that helps anchor the outer layer of the skin to underlying tissue. Elevated BP180 antibody levels are strongly associated with bullous pemphigoid, an autoimmune blistering skin disorder characterized by large, tense blisters, itching, and inflammation. This test is commonly used to support the diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid, differentiate it from other blistering diseases, and monitor disease activity or response to treatment. Results provide valuable insight into autoimmune skin disease and help guide clinical management.
