The recently described IgA anti-endomysial antibodies (IgA-EmA) are directed against the intermyofibril substance of the smooth muscle, which may correspond either to a reticulin-like structure or a surface component of smooth muscle fibrils. These antibodies occurred in about 80% of sera of thirty-eight patients with dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), in about 70% of twenty-eight patients with coeliac disease and in about 20% of nine patients with other enteropathies. IgG class anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) also occur in each of these diseases. Both antibodies were detected on monkey oesophagus by immunofluorescence. The IgA-EmA could not be detected in 122 control sera from patients with other gut or skin diseases, including fifteen cases with ulcerative colitis and fifteen cases with linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LABD). The presence and the titre of IgA-EmA and AGA paralleled the severity of the jejunal changes in patients with coeliac disease.

D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
D009130 Muscle, Smooth Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D003874 Dermatitis Herpetiformis Rare, chronic, papulo-vesicular disease characterized by an intensely pruritic eruption consisting of various combinations of symmetrical, erythematous, papular, vesicular, or bullous lesions. The disease is strongly associated with the presence of HLA-B8 and HLA-DR3 antigens. A variety of different autoantibodies has been detected in small numbers in patients with dermatitis herpetiformis.

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
