IgG antibodies are smaller and require assistance to bridge well enough to form a visual agglutination reaction. Reagents used to enhance IgG detection are referred to as potentiators. RBCs have a net negative charge called zeta potential which causes them to have a natural repulsion for one another.
Typhidot is a medical test consisting of a dot ELISA kit [1] that detects IgM and IgG antibodies against the outer membrane protein (OMP) of the Salmonella typhi.The typhidot test becomes positive within 2–3 days of infection and separately identifies IgM and IgG antibodies.
The water-accessible surface area of an IgG antibody. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a type of antibody. Representing approximately 75% of serum antibodies in humans, IgG is the most common type of antibody found in blood circulation. [1] IgG molecules are created and released by plasma B cells. Each IgG antibody has two paratopes.
Isolated primary immunoglobulin M deficiency [1] is a poorly defined dysgammaglobulinemia characterized by decreased levels of IgM while levels of other immunoglobulins are normal.
Anti-K is the next most common immune red cell antibody after those in the ABO and Rh system. Anti-K typically presents as IgG class alloantibody. Individuals lacking a specific Kell antigen may develop antibodies against Kell antigens when transfused with blood containing that antigen. This is particularly true for the "K" antigen which shows ...
Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is the largest of several isotypes of antibodies (also known as immunoglobulin) that are produced by vertebrates.IgM is the first antibody to appear in the response to initial exposure to an antigen; [1] [2] causing it to also be called an acute phase antibody.
The most common antibody isotype involved in warm antibody AIHA is IgG, though sometimes IgA is found. The IgG antibodies attach to a red blood cell, leaving their F C portion exposed with maximal reactivity at 37 °C (versus cold antibody induced hemolytic anemia whose antibodies only bind red blood cells at low body temperatures, typically 28–31 °C).
IgG deficiency - IgG deficiency is a lack of IgG in the absence of other immunoglobulin deficiencies. IgG levels of 300–600 mg/dL show a mild to moderate reduction of IgG while levels below 200 mg/dl are classified as a severe deficiency. [6] Those with IgG deficiency often get chronic or reoccurring pyogenic respiratory tract infections. [7]
