Abstract:
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an increasingly common immunobullous disease of the elderly, and, due to the late age of onset, is rarely seen in women of fertile age. Consequently, to the best of our knowledge no cases of BP in pregnancy have been described. We present two cases of BP that have differed in disease behaviour during pregnancy.

01:15Transcytosis of IgG
Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...
