Human desmocollin (Dsc1) is an autoantigen for the subcorneal pustular dermatosis type of IgA pemphigus. When the autoantibodies bind to the desmoglein 1 and 3 … In contrast, autoantibodies in HP may recognize a functionally less important part of the molecule and therefore are not able to induce loss of cell adhesion. PJNishikawa
Based on its clinical features, some researchers8,9 reported the disease as a distinct entity and consider it to be different from classic pemphigus because of its clinical peculiarity and benign course. RW Acantholytic herpetiform dermatitis. Background: Desmoglein-3. These desmoglein proteins thus hold cells together, but when the body starts producing antibodies against desmoglein… MHashimoto
All serum samples showed positive staining against keratinocyte cell surfaces by indirect immunofluorescence studies with healthy human skin. RP
They are characterized by formation of autoantibodies against structural proteins of the skin. Alternatively, this sample may have autoantibodies against the cytoplasmic portion of Dsg1 or Dsg3 because the recombinant proteins used for ELISA and immunoadsorption assay represent only the extracellular domains. Thus this assay helps in further differentiation of blistering diseases of the skin. Negative immunoreactivity after preincubation with rDsg1 and rDsg3 indicates that the serum samples contain only Dsg3 or Dsg1 antibodies. TStanley

Desmoglein 3 is most highly expressed in the basal layers of the epidermis, while desmoglein 1 is expressed in the differentiated suprabasal layers (Kottke et al., 2006). Four HP serum samples showed slightly higher OD values compared with those of control serum samples (samples 5 and 6 for Dsg1 ELISA and samples 18 and 19 for Dsg3 ELISA). Immunoreactivity of the herpetiform pemphigus serum sample against keratinocyte cell surfaces was removed by incubation with a mixture of rDsg1 and rDsg3.

Dsg1 and Dsg3 are the major cell surface target molecules of HP, suggesting that most cases of HP are clinical variants of pemphigus foliaceus and that the rest might be variants of pemphigus vulgaris. K Development of ELISAs with recombinant pemphigus antigens expressed by baculovirus. In the skin epidermis Desmoglein-3 is expressed in the basal lower layers of the epidermis, and dominates in terms of expression on mucosal surfaces compared to Desmoglein-1.

However, it can be speculated that the phenotype differences may be caused by differences of epitopes recognized by autoantibodies. Autoantibodies in PF and PV recognize functionally important regions on Dsg and inhibit their adhesive function, leading to the loss of cell adhesion. AAmagai
