Utility of desmoglein ELISA in the clinical correlation and disease monitoring of pemphigus vulgaris

Abstract

Background  Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is a relatively common autoimmune blistering disease in India. Recently, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test against desmoglein1 (Dsg 1) and desmoglein3 (Dsg 3) has been developed, which is found to be highly sensitive and specific.


Objective  To assess the utility of ELISA for monitoring the disease of PV.


Methods  Serum samples from 63 active PV patients were tested for anti-Dsg1 and anti-Dsg3 using ELISA. They were tested for anti-Dsg1 and anti-Dsg3 reactivity before treatment. The test was performed during remission period and after relapse using commercially available ELISA ...
