Disease relevance of LPSA

Over 10 years ago a series of indirect immunofluorescence researches with patients' lesional skin and serum disclosed the presence of lichen planus specific antigens (LPSA) [1].
Lichen planus specific antigen (LPSA) is a lesion-specific marker that differentiates lichen planus from other dermatoses [2].
METHODS: LPSA was performed in 6 randomly-chosen formalin-preserved adult cadavers and the excisions were evaluated in external light of the external appearance, extent of traumatic injury and exposure of the structures in the thoracic cavity [3].

Psychiatry related information on LPSA

A case of loss of psychic self-activation (LPSA) and serious amnesia, followed for a period of ten years, is reported [4].

Anatomical context of LPSA

Studies reported here demonstrate a lichen planus specific antigen (LPSA) in granular and deep prickle epithelial cells from the lichen planus lesion [5].
