title: [Immunology of bullous diseases-II. Cicatricial pemphigoid. Herpes gestationis and dermatitis herpetiformis].
abstract: The immunological aspects of cicatricial pemphigoid, herpes gestationis and dermatitis herpetiformis are reviewed in this article. The immunofluorescence findings in these diseases are emphasised. The possible implication of the complement system in the pathogonesis of these bullous diseases, as well as the present knowledge about the sequence of actuation of the alternate pathway components are discussed.
