Igg1 accounts 65 of total igg. A meta analysis of individual patients data. Immunoglobulin g igg is a type of antibody. Consists of two l chain and two h chain linked by di sulphide bonds h2l2.

Intravenous immunoglobulin ivig for prevention of bacterial infections including pneumonia may be indicated for hiv infected children who have hypogammaglobulinemia igg 4 g l or recurrent severe infections two or more bacterial infections including pneumonia in 1 year or inability to form antibodies to common antigens. What causes igg deficiencies. These antibodies protect you against infection by remembering which germs you ve been exposed to. 16 17 91 117 however ivig may not offer additional protection if children are taking tmp smx prophylaxis.

4 subclasses based on antigenic differences in h chain and number and location of di sulphide bonds namely igg1 igg4. Immunoglobulin g igg is the main potentiator of humoral immunity in the host extracellular fluids including blood lymph and saliva. In addition the inflammatory response that is mounted in response to severe tissue infection culminates in the influx of plasma fluid which is rich in igg and other immunoproteins 269.
