We report on an indirect competitive immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA) for the determination of serum total IgG4 levels. This procedure allows accurate and sensitive measurements. Normal values vary according to age and sex, with mean normal levels of 22.3 +/- 14.6 mg/dl in adults. Serum IgG4 levels observed in atopic subjects are not significantly different from those in age and sex matched normal subjects. However, IgG4 levels are significantly increased in hay fever and honey bee sensitization. Measurement of serum total IgG4 levels clearly needs to be combined with the evaluation of specific anti-allergen antibodies of this subclass in investigations of the possible reaginic or blocking activity of IgG4 antibodies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B.

D012016 Reference Values The range or frequency distribution of a measurement in a population (of organisms, organs or things) that has not been selected for the presence of disease or abnormality.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D000367 Age Factors Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.

D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
