Are the dermatological cut-off values of commercially available ELISAs for BP180-NC16A appropriate when applied for diagnosis of oral mucous membrane pemphigoid?. Results of a preliminary study
The BP180-NC16A ELISA cutoff values designed for cutaneous BP may not be equally accurate when applied for the diagnosis of OMMP. The use of cut-off values specific for OMMP and a panel of several antigens specific for OMMP may improve the clinical utility of ELISAs; however, problems deriving from low specificity should be acknowledged.
