Ya. Rodin et Ay. Rodin, CELLULAR IMMUNOLOGICAL REACTIONS IN THE I NVOLVED EPIDERMIS OF PATIENTS WITH PEMPHIGUS-VULGARIS, Vestnik dermatologii i venerologii, (6), 1994, pp. 26-29
Various stages in the development of acantholytic cells are described.
The authors trace the process of these cells mitosis; the results of
their follow-up contradict the current opinion on the degenerative nat
ure of these cells. Acantholytic cells of pemphigus patients are chara
cterized by intensive protein metabolism, enzymatic activity; besides,
they secrete IgG into the vesical cavity.
