Immunoelectron microscopy of linear dermatitis herpetiformis: report of a case.
Linear deposits of both IgA and C3 were found along the BMZ (by direct IF), and band-like IgA deposits directly below the basal lamina (by HRP-anti-HRP electron microscopy), in a case of clinically typical DH. No circulating antibodies could be detected.
