Materials and Methods Human Epidermal and Desmosomal Extracts. Normal human
epidermis, obtained by excising the roofs of suction blisters induced on the volar forearm of
volunteers, was extracted with sample buffer (2% SDS, 0.0625 M Tris-HCI, pH 6.8)(14).
Desmosomes were isolated from bovine muzzle using nonionic detergent in citrate buffer
and differential centrifugation, as previously described (7). The desmosomal pellet was
extracted with sample buffer in preparation for SDS-PAGE.
