“…Roof pattern of staining is highly suggestive of BP; one needs to be careful when dealing with floor pattern. Although it generally indicates the diagnosis of EBA, further testing (such as immunoblotting, immunoelectron microscope, or indirect IF using toad skin[20] ) may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis.…”

“…The purpose of this procedure is to differentiate between two immunobullous skin disease having similar features clinically, on histology and on routine DIF, that is, bullous pemphigoid and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita Table 7 . [ 27 ] Apart from these two lesions, Table 7 also list the findings of salt split technique in other VB lesions.…”

“…In such cases, toad skin substrate may be utilized to confirm the diagnosis as it contains the bullous pemphigoid antigens. 21 Thus, selection of substrate plays an important role in the detection of circulating antibodies. 22 IIF: Studies reveal circulating antibasement membrane zone IgG antibodies in 70 to 80% of cases.…”
