Recurrent meningitis in a child with IgG3 subclass deficiency.
Recurrent meningitis is an uncommon life-threatening condition. Here, the case of a 6-year-old boy is reported who had two episodes of meningitis with an IgG3 subclass deficiency. The boy had aseptic meningitis at the age of 3 years, followed by bacterial meningitis at the age of 4 years. Primary immunoglobulin deficiencies are a group of disorders associated with an increased incidence and/or ...
متن کاملHairy cell leukemia preferentially expresses the IgG3-subclass.
Surface IgG expression of 29 cases of hairy cell leukemia (HCL) was assessed using IgG-subclass-specific monoclonal and F(ab)'2 polyclonal antibodies. A marked preference for the IgG3 subclass was found, as 16 of 19 IgG-positive HCL's expressed IgG3. In 10 cases, IgG3 was concurrently expressed with other heavy chains. No preferential IgG3 expression was observed in 11 IgG-positive non-Hodgkin'...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin G subclass distribution of autoantibodies in systemic sclerosis, primary biliary cirrhosis, and overlap syndromes.
The IgG subclass reactivities of six anticellular antibodies were measured by indirect immunofluorescence on HEp2 cells using murine monoclonal antibodies to the four human IgG subclasses. Patients with scleroderma, primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), systemic lupus erythematosus, and mixed connective tissue disease were studied. Anticentromere antibody (ACA) was virtually all IgG1 and 3; antibody...
متن کاملEicosanoid excretion in hepatic cirrhosis. Predominance of 20-HETE.
The cytochrome P450 system transforms AA to hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) metabolites that are vasoactive and affect transport in several nephron segments. A principal product of this system, 20-HETE, participates in key mechanisms that regulate the renal circulation and extracellular fluid volume. We hypothesized that excess production of 20-HETE, which constricts the renal vasculature, ...
متن کاملSubclass restriction of murine antibodies. III. Antigens that stimulate IgG3 in mice stimulate IgG2c in rats
The IgG subclass distribution of rat antibodies to 13 different antigens was measured. Antibodies to protein and hapten-protein conjugates were predominantly IgG2a. Antigens labeled thymus-independent type 1, based upon responses in mice, stimulated both IgG2b and IgG2c antibodies, but little IgG2a. Polysaccharide and hapten-polysaccharide antigens (thymus-independent type 2) as well as phospho...
