Blister fluids from a variety of bullous disorders were examined for the presence of human collagenase inhibitor. A protein immunologically identical to the collagenase inhibitor produced by human skin fibroblasts was found in high concentrations within bullae of diverse etiologies. Levels of collagenase inhibitor in blister fluids ranged from 0.9-12.5 μg/ml, averaging 4.9μ/ml. The mean values were 3- to 4-fold greater than those present in the sera of corresponding patients and exceeded plasma levels by 6- to 8-fold. The time course of collagenase inhibitor accumulation in blister fluid was studied using heat- and suction-induced bullae. The concentration in newly formed blisters was ˜0.5 μg/ml, virtually identical to plasma inhibitor levels, and remained constant for approximately 4 h. Inhibitor concentrations then rose rapidly, reaching peak values of ˜6 μg/ml after 48 h. We speculate that the role of this inhibitor in blister fluid involves the inhibitions of active proteinases within the bulla cavity and may occur to limit the extent of blister formation or to assist in wound repair.
