Pitfalls in the Application of Dispase-Based Keratinocyte Dissociation Assay for In Vitro Analysis of Pemphigus Vulgaris
28 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a chronic, life-altering autoimmune disease due to the production of anti-desmoglein antibodies causing the loss of cell-cell adhesion in keratinocytes (acantholysis) and blister formation in both skin and mucous membranes. The dispase-based keratinocyte dissociation assay (DDA) is the method of choice to examine the pathogenic effect of antibodies and additional co-stimuli on cell...
