  • Title: Ultrastructure of junctional epidermolysis bullosa in Belgian foals.
    Author: Johnson GC, Kohn CW, Johnson CW, Garry F, Scott D, Martin S.
    Journal: J Comp Pathol; 1988 Oct; 99(3):329-36. PubMed ID: 3204167.
    Abstract:
    Ultrastructural examination of a mechanobullous disease of probable hereditary nature in Belgian foals, confirmed light microscopic findings that separation of the dermo-epidermal junction occurred through the lamina lucida of the basement membrane, leaving the intact lamina densa adherent to the dermis and the plasmalemma of the basal epithelial cells intact. The location of the cleft and the presence of small hemidesmosomes in adjacent intact skin are additional characteristics which make this condition similar to junctional epidermolysis bullosa of man.
