The Desmoglein DSG 1 and 3 Antibody in Dilution End Point Titre Test is a specialized diagnostic tool used to detect antibodies associated with autoimmune skin disorders. This test is particularly important for patients exhibiting symptoms of conditions such as pemphigus vulgaris, where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own skin proteins.
