Description | IgG4 is a T-helper cell 2-dependent immunoglobulin subtype with many physiologic and morphologic peculiarities. IgG4-associated autoimmune diseases are systemic diseases affecting multiple organs of the body. Any organ system can be affected, including the biliary pathways, salivary glands, kidneys, lymph nodes, thyroid gland, blood vessels and skin. This chronic inflammatory condition is characterized by tissue infiltration with lymphocytes and IgG4-secreting plasma cells resulting in diffuse organ swelling, tissue-destructive lesions and fibrosis. This can lead to organ dysfunction or even organ failure, if not treated. Pemphigus is a chronic blistering skin disease caused by IgG4-autoantibodies which can be detected in the patient's skin |
