The immunofluorescence evaluation of some subepidermal bullous diseases by use of NaCl-split skin.

Abstract

Authors described the results of immunohistological investigation in 13 patients--12 with clinical diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid and 1 patient with clinical diagnosis of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. 1 M NaCl solution was used to split normal human skin, used as substrates for immunohistological testing of the antilamina lucida and anti-sublamina densa antibodies.
