    Abstract:
    In the present study, the development of pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid antigens was investigated by means of the indirect immunofluorescence technique using sera of pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid patients, respectively, on human foetus skin antigenic substrate. Seventy skin specimens from embryos of 9-38 weeks of gestation were studied. Both pemphigus and bullous pemphigoid antigens were observed for the first time at about 16 weeks of gestation. Pemphigus antigen has a slower rate of evolution. Between 30 and 38 weeks both antigens were detected as strongly positive.
