Diagnosis of pure ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid (OMMP) is based on the demonstration of linear depositions of IgG, IgA, C3 or combinations thereof alongside the epithelial basal membrane zone with direct immunofluorescence (DIF) or immunoperoxidase ( DIP) analysis of a freeze biopsy of the conjunctiva in patients with cicatrizing kerato-conjunctivitis. The aims of this study were: 1) to investigate whether the direct immunoperoxidase method is more sensitive than direct immunofluorescence; 2) to analyse whether circulating antibodies against basement membrane autoantigens can be detected in DIF positive and DIF negative patients and which method is the most sensitive for this. In 11 patients with exclusively cicatrizing keratoconjunctiv...
