The levels of immunoglobulin subclasses were determined for 46 patients meeting the original Centers for Disease Control case definition of chronic fatigue syndrome and were compared to values obtained for 50 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteer blood donor controls. The levels of immunoglobulin subclasses in these groups were further compared to a third group of additional chronic fatigue syndrome cases from whom samples had been obtained and frozen prospectively over a period of 7 years. These data do not demonstrate significant immunoglobulin subclass deficiencies in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.

D007132 Immunoglobulin Isotypes The classes of immunoglobulins found in any species of animal. In man there are nine classes that migrate in five different groups in electrophoresis; they each consist of two light and two heavy protein chains, and each group has distinguishing structural and functional properties.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.
