While direct immunofluorescence (DIF) of conjunctival biopsies yields a high positivity rate, its invasiveness limits routine application. To address this, we explored tear fluid\u2014which contains detectable immunoglobulin G (IgG) and can be collected safely and minimally invasively\u2014as an alternative sample source for immunological testing. This pilot study reports the first case of tear fluid\u2013based indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) using oral mucosal tissue to evaluate disease activity in ocular MMP. A man in his 60s presented with ocular pain, conjunctival hyperemia, and erosions. He had a prior MMP diagnosis based on low\u2010titer serum anti\u2010BP180NC16a antibody, histopathology, DIF, and serum IIF. During the second exacerbation, serum anti\u2010BP180NC16a antibody was negative, and serum\u2010based IIF showed no linear deposition of IgG and C3. Tear fluid testing revealed linear IgG deposition along the basement membrane zone (BMZ) of oral mucosa, with titers of 1:20 (left eye) and 1:320 (right eye), correlating with clinical asymmetry. Control testing yielded negative results. Following remission, tear fluid\u2013based IIF showed no IgG reactivity, indicating a correlation with disease activity. Notably, serum\u2010based IIF using oral mucosa was negative, while tear fluid\u2013based IIF demonstrated clear IgG positivity, suggesting higher sensitivity in detecting ocular disease. In conclusion, tear fluid\u2013based IIF using oral mucosa represents a novel and potentially more sensitive method for evaluating ocular MMP, warranting further validation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1346-8138.70090","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,29]],"date-time":"2025-11-29T05:37:57Z","timestamp":1764394677000},"page":"334-338","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Tear
