The kinetics of virus-specific IgG subclasses (IgG 1-4) among newborns and their mothers has not yet been determined. In this report, we examined anti-herpes simplex virus IgG activities (HSV-IgG) and its subclasses in CSF and serum of premature or term newborns without HSV infection and in the serum of their mothers using ELISA. We found that CSF/serum ratios of HSV-IgG and IgG subclasses (IgG 1-4) in newborns with a gestational age less than 38 weeks were higher than those of term newborns. These findings indicate that the blood-brain barrier against HSV-IgG and IgG subclasses is insufficient in newborns. Furthermore, we found that HSV-IgG subclasses, which were transferred across the placenta and later transferred across the blood-brain barrier had a tendency to be proportional to each of the maternal HSV-IgG subclasses.

D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES). Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes

D006561 Herpes Simplex A group of acute infections caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 or type 2 that is characterized by the development of one or more small fluid-filled vesicles with a raised erythematous base on the skin or mucous membrane. It occurs as a primary infection or recurs due to a reactivation of a latent infection. (Dorland, 27th ed.) Herpes Simplex Virus Infection
