Serologic diagnosis of epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) relies on the detection of circulating autoantibodies to type VII collagen (C7).
We sought to compare the diagnostic performances of a commercialized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using C7 noncollagenous (NC) domains (C7-NC1/NC2 ELISA) and indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) biochip test on NC1-C7-expressing transfected cells (IIFT), with a full-length-C7 ELISA developed in our laboratory.
C7-NC1/NC2 ELISA, IIFT, and full-length-C7 ELISA were run on 77 nonselected consecutive EBA sera.
C7-NC1/NC2 ELISA, IIFT, and full-length-C7 ELISA were positive, respectively, for: 30%, 27%, and 65% of the 77 sera; 43%, 32%, and 80% of 44 sera labeling the salt-split-skin (SSS) floor (F) by IIF (SSS/F(+)); 9%, 22%, and 47% of 32 SSS/F(-) sera; 28%, 28%, and 58% of classic EBA; 41%, 41%, and 82% of inflammatory EBA; and 18%, 0%, and 55% of mucous-membrane-predominant EBA. Significant differences for all sera were found between: the 2 ELISAs for the 77 sera, SSS/F(+) and SSS/F(-) sera, and IIFT versus full-length-C7 ELISA.
The retrospective design was a limitation.
C7-NC1/NC2 ELISA and IIFT sensitivities for serologic diagnoses of EBA were low. Full-length-C7 ELISA was significantly more sensitive and could serve as a reference test.
获得性大疱性表皮松解症（EBA）的血清学诊断依赖于对 VII 型胶原蛋白（C7）循环自身抗体的检测。
我们旨在比较使用 C7 非胶原（NC）结构域（C7-NC1/NC2 ELISA）的商业化酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）和在表达全长 C7 的转染细胞上进行的间接免疫荧光（IIF）生物芯片检测（IIFT）与我们实验室开发的全长 C7 ELISA 的诊断性能。
对 77 例非选择性连续 EBA 血清进行 C7-NC1/NC2 ELISA、IIFT 和全长 C7 ELISA 检测。
C7-NC1/NC2 ELISA、IIFT 和全长 C7 ELISA 分别对 77 例血清中的 30%、27%和 65%、44 例通过 IIF 标记盐裂皮肤（SSS）底层（F）的血清中的 43%、32%和 80%、32 例 SSS/F（-）血清中的 9%、22%和 47%、32 例经典 EBA 血清中的 28%、28%和 58%、41%、41%和 82%的炎症性 EBA 血清和 18%、0%和 55%的黏膜优势 EBA 血清呈阳性。对所有血清进行检测，均发现 2 种 ELISA 之间、SSS/F（+）和 SSS/F（-）血清之间以及 IIFT 与全长 C7 ELISA 之间存在显著差异。
回顾性设计是一个限制。
C7-NC1/NC2 ELISA 和 IIFT 对 EBA 的血清学诊断敏感性较低。全长 C7 ELISA 显著更敏感，可作为参考试验。
