The epidermal and mucous membrane blisters occur when the cell-to-cell adhesion structures are damaged by the action of circulating autoantibodies and by the in vivo binding of these autoantibodies to the pemphigus vulgaris antigens, which are cell-surface glycoproteins that are present in keratinocytes. These pemphigus vulgaris glycoproteins are members of the desmoglein (DSG) subfamily of the cadherin superfamily of cell–cell adhesion molecules, which are present in desmosomes. Whereas high levels of desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) autoantibodies correlate with the severity of oral disease in patients with pemphigus vulgaris, elevated levels of desmoglein 1 (Dsg1) autoantibodies are associated with severity of ______ disease.

The presence of autoantibodies can be demonstrated in the oral mucosa of patients with oral pemphigus with the use of immunofluorescence techniques. For direct immunofluorescence, perilesional unfixed frozen sections are incubated with fluorescein-labeled human anti-IgG. With indirect immunofluorescence, unfixed frozen sections of oral or esophageal mucosa from an animal such as a monkey are first incubated with the patient’s serum to allow for the attachment of any serum antibodies to the mucosal tissue. The tissue is then incubated with fluorescein labeled antihuman IgG serum. Differential Diagnosis. The oral lesions of pemphigus vulgaris may be similar to those seen with ______ multiforme.
