Methods Indirect IF method as described by Weller and Coons (1954) was employed to
demonstrate circulating antibodies directed against the basement membrane zone. A total of
35 sera from the patients with dermatitis herpetiformis and 32 from the patients with
pemphigoid were investigated in this study. Oral mucosa of rabbits was used as a substrate.
The investigations regarding gammaglobulins and complement “bound” in vivo were
performed with the direct IF-method on skin biopsies from two patients with
