Evaluation of the BIOCHIP mosaic for the routine diagnosis of autoimmune bullous diseases. A large panel of consecutive sera (n = 453) from patients with suspected autoimmune bullous disease was subjected to both the BIOCHIP mosaic (black columns) and the routine multi-step procedures of the autoimmune laboratory of the department of dermatology, Luebeck (grey columns; detailed in[38]). Obtained diagnoses were grouped into BP (bullous pemphigoid), “pemphigoid” diseases (including linear IgA disease, p200-pemphigoid, mucous membrane pemphigoid and dermatitis herpetiformis), PV/PNP (pemphigus vulgaris/ paraneoplastic pemphigus), PF (pemphigus foliaceus), and PG (pemphigoid gestationis). PNP and “pemphigoid” sera are further specified in Table4.
