Several cutaneous conditions can be diagnosed with the aid of immunofluorescence studies.
Cutaneous conditions with positive direct or indirect immunofluorescence when using salt-split skin include:
Condition | Antibody isotype(s) deposited | Localization of antibody with use of salt-split skin |
---|---|---|
Antiepilegrin cicatricial pemphigoid | IgG | Dermal |
Bullous lupus erythematosus | Dermal | |
Bullous pemphigoid | IgG | Epidermal |
Cicatricial pemphigoid | IgG | Epidermal |
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita | IgG | Dermal |
Linear IgA bullous dermatosis | IgA | Epidermal |
Orf-induced immunobullous disease | IgG | Dermal |
Pemphigoid gestationis | IgG | Epidermal |
For several subtypes of pemphigus a variety of substrates are used for indirect immunofluorescence:
Pemphigus variant | Substrate |
---|---|
Pemphigus foliaceous | Guinea pig esophagus |
Pemphigus vulgaris | Monkey esophagus |
IgA pemphigus | Cultured skin |
Paraneoplastic pemphigus | Rat bladder |
