Dermatitis herpetiformis is a disorder characterized by deposition of IgA in the dermal papillae and an associated gluten-sensitive enteropathy which is frequently asymptomatic. However, the pathogenic relationship between wheat products and the skin disease is poorly understood. The present study was designed to assess the short-term response of IgA and IgG circulating immune complexes to oral ingestion of wheat and nonwheat dietary protein. Five patients with dermatitis herpetiformis and 5 normal controls were fed whole wheat and serum was collected every 30mm. After 5hr, a gluten-free meal was given and serum was collected hourly for 5 more hours. IgA circulating immune complexes and IgG circulating immune complexes were measured using the Raji cell immunoradiometric assay. Patients with dermatitis herpetiformis, as a group, developed a significant elevation of IgA circulating immune complex levels, but not IgG circulating immune complex levels, after wheat ingestion. Normals, as a group, failed to develop a significant elevation of (either IgA or IgG circulating immune complexes after wheat ingestion. Induction of IgA circulating immune complexes was demonstrated in 5 of 5 patients with dermatitis herpetiformis, including 2 patients with previously normal levels of IgA circulating immune complexes. These results indicate that: (1) elevation of igA circulating immune complexes can be induced in patients with dermatitis herpetiformis with previously normal levels, (2) IgA circulating immune complex levels are related to a factor known to alter disease activity, namely wheat ingestion, and (3) the immune complex response is characteristic for IgA in a disease felt to be IgA mediated. These results support the hypothesis that IgA circulating immune complexes play a biologically significant role in the immunopathogenesis of dermatitis herpetiformis.
