Serum and intestinal immunoglobulins in heterophyiasis. 1989

G A el-Ganayni, and M E Youssef, and A E Handousa, and A A Bou-Zakham, and M M Hegazi

Serum and intestinal immunoglobulins are determined in 50 patients with heterophyiasis. The most outstanding findings were highly elevated IgE levels in serum but not in intestinal contents. Increased serum IgM, IgG and IgE were detected, while only intestinal IgM, IgG and IgA were elevated. An inverse relationship between serum and intestinal IgM, IgG and IgA and the load of infection was proved.

D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
