Investigation of SNPs in the porcine desmoglein 1 gene [PDF]
Background Desmoglein 1 (DSG1) is the target protein in the skin disease exudative epidermitis in pigs caused by virulent strains of Staphylococcus hyicus. The exfoliative toxins produced by S.

Expression of Desmoglein 1 Compensates for Genetic Loss of Desmoglein 3 in Keratinocyte Adhesion [PDF]
The desmoglein compensation hypothesis, namely that one desmoglein can compensate for loss of function of another, has been proposed to explain the tissue specificity of the autoantibody-induced loss of cell adhesion in pemphigus. To validate this hypothesis genetically, we used desmoglein-3 knockout mice (DSG3-/-) that lose their telogen hair ...

Detection of Autoantibodies against Recombinant Desmoglein 1 and 3 Molecules in Patients with Pemphigus vulgaris: Correlation with Disease Extent at the Time of Diagnosis and during Follow-Up [PDF]
The recent availability of cDNA clones for pemphigus antigens has allowed the production of recombinant desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3 molecules and the development of an ELISA approach in order to determine levels of antibodies to them.

Do serum prolactin levels correlate with antibodies against desmoglein in pemphigus vulgaris?
Background: Pemphigus vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease of skin, the etiology of which is not completely known. Despite the latter, anti-desmoglein antibodies play a proven role in the pathogenesis.

Epithelial barrier dysfunction in desmoglein-1 deficiency. [PDF]
Mutations in the desmoplakin (DSP) and desmoglein-1 (DSG1) genes have been implicated in patients with the inherited inflammatory skin disease known as severe dermatitis, multiple allergies, and metabolic wasting (SAM) syndrome (MIM#603165, see Tables E1 and E2 in this article's Online Repository at www.jacionline.org).1, 2 The DSP and DSG1 genes ...

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of autoantibodies to desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3 detected by ELISA and indirect immunofluorescence in the diagnosis of oral pemphigus and to correlate the antibody titres with the severity of the disease.

Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune blistering disease elicited by anti-desmoglein (DsG) 3 antibody. Although skin lesions tend to be distributed over the entire body, in some patients, they are confined to a restricted area.

Background: Desmosomal proteins have a fundamental role in cellular adhesion as they not only maintain cellular homeostasis but also regulate cellular activities like proliferation, differentiation, and migration.

Anti-desmoglein 3 and 1 autoantibodies are involved in the pathogenesis of pemphigus diseases. Our objective was to assess the value of ELISA in the diagnosis of pemphigus and its correlation with the severity of pemphigus vulgaris.

Pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus are cutaneous autoimmune diseases characterized by intraepithelial blisters and autoantibodies to desmosomal glycoproteins. The antigens recognized by pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus autoantibodies are desmoglein-3 (Dsg3) and desmoglein-1 (Dsg1), respectively.
