IMMUNO‐HISTOPATHOLOGY OF THE SKIN IN PEMPHIGOID

摘要: SUMMARY.— The in vivo direct immunofluorescent (DIF) staining patterns of the skin surrounding lesions 5 patients suffering from pemphigoid are reported. It appeared that fine granular IgG deposits occur dermis and more closely packed junctional zone most biopsies examined. Only 1 case with a very high (anti-basement membrane) antibody titre showed conspicuous linear fluorescence basement membrane zone, while 2 other cases less litre both types patterns. impression was gained there is some relation between DIF pattern DH. The findings this study also favour concept dermatitis herpetiformis different disease entities; however existence intermediate cannot be ruled out. The advantages method discussed. An improved filter combination for blue narrow-band excitation rigid control conjugates used IF studies recommended.
