Demonstration of antibodies to bovine desmocollin isoforms in certain pemphigus sera
1 Oct 1995
Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that IgG antibodies in certain pemphigus sera, particularly endemic Brazilian pemphigus foliaceus (BPF) sera, react with bovine desmocollins (Dsc), which are transmembranous glycoproteins of desmosome junctions. Desmocollins occur as three different isoforms (Dsc 1, 2 and 3), all of which are represented in the epidermis. In this study, we examined sera of various pemphigus types by...
