ELISA values of indirect IF microscopy-positive and indirect IF microscopy-negative samples. Percentage of indirect IF microscopy (IIFM)-positive (green) and indirect IF-microscopy negative (red) samples according to the measured ELISA values. Anti-BP180-NC16A-, anti-BP230-, anti-Dsg1-and anti-Dsg3-positive samples have significantly higher ELISA values than antibody-negative samples by the Wilcoxon rank-sum test with continuity correction. All indirect IF microscopy-positive samples [n: indirect IF microscopy-negative samples] were included: 15 [27] for Dsg1, 7 [13] for Dsg3, 37 [37] for BP180-NC16A, 3 [9] for BP230. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.001 (comparing indirect IF microscopy-negative with indirect IF microscopy-positive samples).
