Granzyme B inhibition reduces disease severity in autoimmune blistering diseases
Pemphigoid diseases involve autoimmune mediated blistering and immunopathology of the upper dermis. Here, the authors implicate granzyme B in the immunopathology in multiple in vivo models of pemphigoid diseases and utilise a topical granzyme B inhibitor that attenuates disease phenotypes in vivo.
