METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF CLINICAL COURSE OF AUTOIMMUNE PEMPHIGUS Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01N33/53 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: what is offered a method for prediction of a clinical course of autoimmune pemphigus including biopsy of an intact skin differing by the fact that a biopsy material is examined by direct ELISA; it involves determining a localisation pattern of fixed immunoglobulin class G which is when observed as granular depositions in intracellular spaces enables to predict a severe course of pemphigus. Grid-like immunoglobulin G found in intercellular spaces provides predicting a favourable course of pemphigus.

EFFECT: more accurate prediction of clinical current of autoimmune pemphigus and reduced potential complications.
