Article Synopsis
- Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) is an autoimmune skin disease in dogs, marked by pustules and caused by IgG autoantibodies targeting desmocollin-1 (DSC1), which is crucial for skin cell adhesion.
- Previous research indicated that passive transfer of these autoantibodies can induce skin disease, but the recruitment of neutrophils remained unexplained.
- Our study aimed to clarify the role of IgA autoantibodies in PF, but after removing significant amounts of IgG from dog sera, we found no increase in IgA levels, suggesting that IgA does not play a pathogenic role in this condition.

Materials And Methods: Twelve vials of insulin, six of insulin glargine U100 (Lantus®, 10 mL multi-dose vial, Sanofi, Bridgewater, NJ) containing the preservative metacresol, and six of protamine zinc insulin U40 (ProZinc®, 10 mL multi-dose vial, Boehringer Ingelheim, Duluth, GA) containing the preservative phenol, were refrigerated and aspirated twice daily for 6 months, using a new insulin syringe each time. Three vials of each insulin type were wiped with a single-use alcohol swab before sampling.
