Immunoblot Assay is Still Useful For the Serological Diagnosis of Autoimmune Bullous Dermatosis
The detection of autoantibodies to epidermal or basement membrane zone proteins by immunoblot (IB) is useful for the diagnosis and the classification of autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBD). IB using human skin extracts is actually the reference method but A431 cell line is proposed as easier alternate antigen source. We explored the performances of “A431 IB” in comparison with the reference tech...
متن کاملP 137 Direct immunoelectron microscopy on uninvolved conjunctiva for the diagnosis of autoimmune bullous dermatosis
Parpose: Direct immunofluorescence (DIF) study on the conjunctiva is currently the classical diagnostic tool used fo the. diagnosis of autoimmune cicatrizing conjunctivitis, which is characterized by the deposition of immunoglobuliis and/or compleme:nt along the conjunctival basement membrane zone (BMZ). To diagnose the type of autoimmune conjunctivitis, we performed d&t immunoeleclron microsco...
متن کاملQuality of life index in autoimmune bullous dermatosis patients*
BACKGROUND Autoimmune bullous dermatoses are complex diseases triggered by autoantibodies action against epidermal antigens or the dermoepidermal junction. Blisters and vesicles that evolve with erosion areas characterize them. Although rare, they present high morbidity, affecting the quality of life of patients. OBJECTIVES To assess the magnitude of autoimmune bullous dermatoses on life qual...
متن کاملClinical Relevance of Autoantibodies in Patients with Autoimmune Bullous Dermatosis
The authors present their experience related to the diagnosis, treatment, and followup of 431 patients with bullous pemphigoid, 14 patients with juvenile bullous pemphigoid, and 273 patients with pemphigus. The detection of autoantibodies plays an outstanding role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Paraneoplastic pemphigoid is suggested to be a distinct entity from the group of bullou...
متن کاملBiochip Technology for the Serological Diagnosis of Bullous Pemphigoid
Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune blistering skin disease characterized by the presence of circulating autoantibodies which recognize specific proteins of the epidermis and dermoepidermal junction. Diagnosis is based on clinical criteria and laboratory investigations, notably histology, direct and indirect immunofluorescence, and ELISA. This study describes a new immunofluorescence assay for ...
