Classification of Immunoglobulins in the Dermal-Epidermal Junction in Lupus Erythematosus

Immunofluorescent Studies of the Skin in Rosacea

“…Thus in 70% of our cases suffering from rosacea the results of the present IF study are quite similar to those obtained in LE (Baart de la Faille-Kuyper and Cormane, 1968;Cormane et al 1966).…”

“…The methods of preparation of the sections and details about the staining pro cedures have been previously described (Cormane, 1961: Cormane et al, 1966. Venous blood was drawn to ascertain the presence of antinuclear factors (AN F) (Friou et al, 1958) and serum antibodies with specificity for (a) substance(s) in the dermalepidermal junction area.…”

The Occurrence of Immunoglobulins in the Dermo-Epidermal Junction of the Skin in Lupus Erythematosus and Related Syndromes

“…In this respect these observations confirm previous reports (Cormane 1964, Kalsbeek and Cormane 1964, Cormane et al 1966, Tan and Kunkel 1966, and Ten Ilave-Opbroek 1966.…”

“…Furtherm ore, the dem onstration of bound complement at the same site as the (gamma-) globulin localization (Kalsbeek and Cormane 1964, Tan and Kunkel 1966 and the presence of various immunoglobulins in the skin of patients -with lupus ery them atosus (Cormane et al 1966, provide additional supporting evidence to the immunological character of the immunoglobulins located in the region of the dermo-epidermal ju nc tion in lupus erythem atosus.…”

Immunofluorescence Staining Properties of Different Conjugates

“…In the case of LE, besides complement, different major classes of Ig and their subsequent types can occur (Cormane et al, 1966). It is moreover very probable th at also fragments and aggregates of Ig occur in the junctional zone of the LE skin.…”
