Basal cells of stratified epidermis are anchored to the basement membrane zone (BMZ) of
skin via hemidesmosomes. We previously identified integrin alpha 3 beta 1, in focal
adhesions (FAs), of cultured human keratinocytes (HFKs) as a mediator of HFK adhesion to
secreted BMZ-like extracellular matrix (ECM; Carter, WG, EA Wayner, TS Bouchard, and P.
Kaur. 1990. J. Cell Biol. 110: 1387-1404). Here, we have examined the relation of integrins
alpha 6 beta 4 and alpha 3 beta 1, to bullous pemphigoid antigen (BPA), a component of …
