Cross-reactivity of human recombinant EC Dsg1 or EC Dsg3 proteins with PF and PV sera. Panels A and B: Western blot analysis of PF or PV serum immunoreactivity towards human recombinant EC Dsg1 or EC Dsg3 protein. Control: phosphorylase was used as a control protein. Panels C and D: Dot blot analysis of PF or PV serum immunoreactivity towards peptide: 1) Dsg3190–204LNSKIAFKIVSQEPA, 2) Dsg349–60 REWVKFAKPCRE, and 3) Dsg149–60REWIKFAAACRE.
