(B) The histopathological analysis of lesional skin samples shows subepidermal blisters with numerous eosinophilic infiltrates. (C) Direct IF of a peri-blistering lesion reveals the linear deposition of IgG at the dermo-epidermal junction (arrows). (D) Indirect IF detects circulating IgG autoantibodies directing the dermo-epidermal junction of normal salt-split human skin. The IgG reacts with the roof epidermis of an artificial blister (star).
