Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) is an autoimmune disease characterized by IgG autoantibodies targeting desmoglein-3 (Dsg3), leading to blistering of mucous membranes and skin. Although commercial ELISA kits effectively diagnose PV, correlation with clinical phenotype remains unclear. This study assesses multiple panels for monitoring disease severity and activity by profiling IgG autoantibodies against Dsg3's various extracellular ectodomains.
