Frequently Asked Questions

What is Desmoglein I Antibody test used for?

It detects autoantibodies against Desmoglein-1, a protein in skin cell junctions. Elevated levels help diagnose pemphigus foliaceus and some cases of pemphigus vulgaris.

Is fasting required for this test?

No, fasting is not required. Serum sample can be collected at any time of day.

What do positive Dsg1 antibody results mean?

Positive results indicate an autoimmune attack on superficial skin layers, commonly seen in pemphigus foliaceus. Levels often correlate with disease activity and can be monitored over time.

How is the sample collected?

A standard venous blood draw of approximately 3 mL into a plain serum tube is collected and processed by ELISA methodology.

Can this test distinguish between pemphigus types?

Dsg1 antibodies are typically positive in pemphigus foliaceus and may be positive in mucocutaneous pemphigus vulgaris. Dsg3 antibody testing is usually done alongside for accurate subtyping.
