Figure 5Anti-Dsg scFv mAbs are pathogenic in neonatal mice. (
A) Injection of (D3)3c/9 alone into neonatal mice does not cause gross blistering; histologic examination (lower panel) supports this result. (
B) Injection of (D3)3c/9 with low-dose ETA demonstrates suprabasilar blistering. (
C) Injection of (D31)2/28 alone demonstrates superficial blistering in the granular layer of the epidermis. (
D) Coinjection of (D3)3c/9 and (D31)2/28 demonstrates suprabasilar blistering. Magnification, ×400.
