Abstract

There are unusual cases of pemphigus that have antibodies nonreactive with either pemphigus vulgaris or pemphigus foliaceus antigens. We describe a patient with an acantholytic bullous dermatosis and lung cancer with intercellular IgG and IgA antibodies that differed in specificity from those of pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus and reacted with bovine desmocollins I and II and recombinant desmocollin protein.
