Comparative study of five serological assays for the diagnosis of paraneoplastic pemphigus

In this study IIF using either rat or monkey bladder substrates performed strongly, whilst the envoplakin ELISA seemed to lack sensitivity, and the CBA and IIF on rat cardiac substrate were inferior. Our findings suggest that traditional IIF-based assays remain the preferred approach in the serological diagnosis of PNP.
