ELISA Testing of Anti–Desmoglein 1 and 3 Antibodies in the Management of Pemphigus

Abstract

Anti-Dsg1 Ab ELISA values are more closely correlated than anti-Dsg3 Ab ELISA values with the course of the disease in patients with pemphigus vulgaris or pemphigus foliaceus. This should be taken into account for the management of patients with pemphigus.
