A 55-yeаr-оld wоmаn presents with а 3-mоnth history of painful oral ulcers, difficulty swallowing, and a burning sensation when eating spicy foods. She also reports progressive involvement of the lips and oral mucosa. Physical exam reveals diffuse erosions and ulcerations involving the buccal mucosa, lips, and tongue. Gentle lateral pressure on the mucosa results in extension of the lesions (positive Nikolsky sign). Labs show circulating IgG autoantibodies against epithelial adhesion proteins (desmoglein 3 and some to desmoglein 1). A biopsy of perilesional tissue demonstrates suprabasal acantholysis with a “tombstone” appearance of basal keratinocytes. Direct immunofluorescence reveals intercellular IgG deposition in a reticular (“fishnet”) pattern. Which of the following best describes the primary immunologic mechanism leading to this patient’s mucosal lesions?
