To determine the assembly pathway of desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) into desmosomes and the
subsequent effects of pemphigus vulgaris immunoglobulin G (PV-IgG) on such, we
employed a time-lapsed labeling for FITC/Rhodamine (Rod) double-stained
immunofluorescence and 5-nm/10-nm gold double-stained immunoelectron microscopy by
using PV-IgG, which was confirmed to react specifically Dsg3. Cells from a human
squamous cell carcinoma cell line (DJM-1) were first treated briefly with PV-IgG (3 min), then …
