Desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3 are the target autoantigens in herpetiform pemphigus.
OBJECTIVE To determine the cell surface autoimmune target of herpetiform pemphigus (HP). DESIGN Serum samples of HP were examined by immunoblot studies with human epidermal extracts, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with baculovirus-expressed recombinant desmoglein (rDsg) 1 and rDsg3, and immunoadsorption assay with rDsg. PATIENTS Twenty serum samples were obtained from patients with HP wh...
متن کاملNon-classical forms of pemphigus: pemphigus herpetiformis, IgA pemphigus, paraneoplastic pemphigus and IgG/IgA pemphigus*
The pemphigus group comprises the autoimmune intraepidermal blistering diseases classically divided into two major types: pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceous. Pemphigus herpetiformis, IgA pemphigus, paraneoplastic pemphigus and IgG/IgA pemphigus are rarer forms that present some clinical, histological and immunopathological characteristics that are different from the classical types.

متن کاملPemphigus Vulgaris and Pemphigus Foliaceus
The word “pemphigus” is derived from the Greek term "pemphix” meaning bubble or blister. Pemphigus is a group of autoimmune diseases (see Table 4) characterized by intra-epithelial blistering, resulting in superficial vesicles or bullae that easily rupture, resulting in ulceration of mucosal and/or cutaneous sites. Although rare, pemphigus causes significant morbidity and potential mortality fo...
متن کاملPemphigus.
Pemphigus vulgaris and paraneoplastic pemphigus are 2 subtypes of pemphigus that involve the oral mucosa. These autoimmune blistering disorders have antibodies targeted against proteins of keratinocyte adhesion, thereby causing acantholysis. Clinical findings include oral erosions and flaccid cutaneous bullae and erosions. Further malignancy workup in patients with suspected paraneoplastic pemp...
متن کاملKey autoantigens in SLE.
Murine and human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE, lupus) is characterized by the appearance of autoantibodies directed to nuclear and cell membrane phospholipid components. Some functionally related nucleic acid-containing macromolecules such as chromatin or ribonucleoprotein particles are specifically targeted both by autoantibodies and T cells involved in lupus pathogenesis. In the last dec...
