To be able to compare the different levels of IgG binding to the intact Sle1, Aly and LytM proteins and their different domains by IgGs from sera of EB patients, healthy volunteers and immunized mice, we analyzed the respective band intensities in the Western blots shown in Figs. 6, 7 and 8 and related them to the respective band intensities of the SimplyBlue Safe Stained gels in Fig. 2. Here, ALYREF is linked to epidermolysis bullosa.
