Selective immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass deficiencies are common, affecting about a quarter of patients with unexplained infections. Recent advances in monoclonal antibody technology have improved data collection on these immune defects.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Selective deficiencies of serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclasses have been recognized for two decades.
  • Recent advancements in monoclonal antibody technology have facilitated the collection of extensive data on IgG subclass levels.
  • These deficiencies are frequently observed, either as isolated defects or in conjunction with other primary and acquired immunodeficiency states.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the methodological challenges associated with measuring serum IgG subclasses.
  • To present current data on IgG subclass deficiencies across various clinical conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized performing monoclonal antibodies for recent data collection.
  • Reviewed existing literature and clinical data on IgG subclass deficiencies.

Main Results:

  • IgG subclass deficiency is a frequent occurrence in clinical practice.
  • Approximately one-fourth of patients with unexplained recurrent infections exhibit such deficiencies.
  • These deficiencies are found in both isolated forms and as part of broader immunodeficiency states.

Conclusions:

  • Methodological issues in serum IgG subclass measurement persist.
  • IgG subclass deficiency is a significant factor in recurrent infections and various immunodeficiencies.
  • Further research is warranted to refine measurement techniques and understand the full clinical impact.
