Autoimmune blistering diseases are characterized by epidermal or subepidermal blistering of the skin and mucosal surfaces. Both genetic and environmental factors play a role in their development. Pathogenic autoantibodies against epidermal and basement membrane adhesion molecules facilitate the development of cutaneous lesions, although the exact mechanisms are still not known. Other components of the immune system, including complement, T-cells, other cytokines, and heat shock proteins, are all implicated in varying degrees in these diseases.
