DEAR EDITOR, Desmoglein (Dsg) 1 and Dsg3 are autoantigens for pemphigus foliaceus (PF) and pemphigus vulgaris (PV), respectively. 1, 2 Thymomas are frequently associated with various autoimmune diseases, particularly myasthenia gravis (MG). 3 Thymomas are divided histopathologically into types A, AB, B1, B2, B3 and C (renamed thymic carcinoma). 4 Autoimmune regulator (AIRE) is a causative molecule in autoimmune polyendocrinopathy–candidiasis–ectodermal dystrophy (APECED), and is expressed in thymic medulla in fetal thymus. 5, 6 AIRE regulates negative selection of self-reactive T cells by expressing tissue-specific antigens (TSAs). Thus, AIRE is involved in central immune tolerance and the development of autoimmune diseases. 7 AIRE is also expressed in nonthymus tissues, including lymph nodes and spleen, but is absent in all thymomas, except for a few type B1 thymomas. 8, 9 b5t, a subunit of thymus-specific proteasome S28, is involved in antigen processing for positive selection in thymus, and is expressed in type B, but not type A, thymomas. 10, 11
