IgG4 deficiency in IgA-deficient patients

The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1989
IgG subclass deficiency may be an important factor in the infection proneness of some IgA-deficient subjects. Although several studies on IgG subclass deficiency in IgA-deficient subjects have been reported, most have been unable to assess the incidence of IgG4 deficiency because the limitations of the assay methods used have often made a distinction ...

Prostaglandin deficiency

Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids, 1990
Healthy cells from virtually all tissues synthesize a variety of prostaglandins, autacoids which can significantly alter cellular functions. An absolute or relative deficiency of prostaglandins has now been demonstrated in many diseases or clinical conditions. These include 'natural' disorders such as peptic ulcer disease and diabetes mellitus.
