[We have analysed the characteristics of the 'pockets' of the susceptibility-associated molecules to PV and PF and we showed that (i) in PV, two kinds of Dsg3 derived peptides may be presented by HLA-DR according to HLA polymorphism (DRB1*0402 or DRB1*14/0406), (ii) the same Dsg1 peptides may be presented by DRB1*0102, DQB1*0404 or DRB1*14 in PF, (iii) the DRB1*14/0406 PV-related molecules may be able to present Dsg1 and Dsg3 peptides thereby providing an explanation for the cases of PV with combined responses to Dsg1 and to Dsg3 which are typified by a muco-cutaneous clinical phenotype.].
