Correlation between Serum IgG-2 Concentrations and the Antibody Response to Bacterial Polysaccharide Antigens

Abstract

We measured serum concentrations of immunoglobulin classes and IgG subclasses in 53 patients who had completed treatment for Hodgkin's disease and in 10 healthy adults. We wished to determine the relation of these classes and subclasses to the subjects' antibody responses to bacterial polysaccharide and viral protein antigens.
