Immunoglobulins and immunoglobulin subclasses in the elderly [PDF]
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2003 Background: Published data imply that adult concentrations are achieved for all Ig isotypes and plateau by 15--18 years of age. Recent data, however, suggest that these results are not applicable in the elderly. There are no equivalent data for IgG subclasses.

Gene conversion in human rearranged immunoglobulin genes [PDF]
, 2006 Over the past 20 years, many DNA sequences have been published suggesting that all or part of the V<sub>H</sub> segment of a rearranged immunoglobulin gene may be replaced in vivo. Two different mechanisms appear to be operating. One of these

Acute reduction in secretory immunoglobulin A following smoking cessation [PDF]
, 2004 Smokers report an increase in upper respiratory infections in the early phase of stopping smoking. One possible cause is a depletion in secretory immunoglobulin A (S-IgA) which has been observed in one study.

Dynamic immunoglobulin responses to gut bacteria during inflammatory bowel disease
Gut Microbes, 2020 Aberrant immune responses against gut microbiota are thought to be key drivers of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis. However, the extent and targets of immunoglobulin (Ig) A versus IgG responses to gut bacteria in IBD and its association with

Primary vs. Secondary Antibody Deficiency: Clinical Features and Infection Outcomes of Immunoglobulin Replacement [PDF]
, 2014 Secondary antibody deficiency can occur as a result of haematological malignancies or certain medications, but not much is known about the clinical and immunological features of this group of patients as a whole. Here we describe a cohort of 167 patients

The immunoglobulin κ gene families of human and mouse: a cottage industry approach [PDF]
, 2000 Some aspects of the work of our group on the human and mouse immunoglobulin κ genes are reviewed. The human κ locus contains a large duplication: a 600 kb C κ-proximal copy with 40 V κ genes is found in the close vicinity of a 440 kb C κ-distal copy with
