High doses of intravenous immunoglobulin were given to seven pregnant women between the 27th and 36th wk of gestation who were at risk for preterm delivery. Determinations of IgG subclasses and of antibodies against group B streptococcal serotypes, pneumococcal polysaccharides, and tetanus toxoid were done in maternal serum before and after intravenous IgG infusion and after delivery in cord serum. Substantial transplacental passage of the infused material could be observed in five cases where delivery occurred at the 34th wk or later. After the 36th wk of gestation, IgG subclass and antibody concentrations in cord serum were increased up to the levels in the maternal serum.

D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.
