EVALUATION OF SERUM IgG SUBCLASS LEVELS IN ASTHMATIC AND ATOPIC CHILDREN WITH RECURRENT INFECTION

Evaluation of Serum Levels of Calprotectin in Asthmatic Children

Background Calprotectin is a cytosolic protein that belongs to the S-100 protein group with immunomodulatory and antiproliferative actions. The level of this protein increases in infection, inflammation, and malignancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of...

Abnormal serum IgG subclass pattern in children with Down's syndrome.

Susceptibility to infections is a well known feature of Down's syndrome. The possible relation between this predisposition and the serum concentrations of the IgG subclasses was studied in 38 children with Down's syndrome aged 1-12 years. An age matched group of 50 healthy children served as controls. The serum concentrations of IgG1 and IgG3 were significantly raised among children with Down's...

IgG subclass serum levels in juvenile chronic arthritis.

IgG subclass levels of sera from 26 patients with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) were determined by means of mouse monoclonal antibodies. Patients were divided into three groups according to clinical activity of the disease: active disease, partial remission, and remission. One hundred and sixty four age matched, healthy children served as controls. IgG subclass concentrations were log transf...
