Abstract:
We measured levels of creatine kinase and its three isoenzymes in serum and blister fluid from 16 healthy volunteers. The BB-isoenzyme was found to be the predominant form in blister fluid while only the MM isoenzyme was found in serum. The levels of BB-isoenzyme in blister fluid decreased as the blisters aged. The source of BB-isoenzyme in blister fluid is most probably the damaged epidermis.
