[CLINICAL AND DIAGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF IMMUNOGLOBULIN G SUBCLASSES IN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VERIFICATION]
Abstract:
In general practice of clinical immunologists must be use the detection of immunoglobulin G subclasses in cases with symptoms of recurrent and chronic infectious diseases with normal serum IgG. Thus, these patients are not examined and they are under treatment. Over the years, these patients has a sharp decrease in IgG subclasses, which is accompanied by a long course of various infectious processes and complications. Therefore; early diagnosis, early treatment and prevention of complications immunodeficiency knowledge-based clinical immunologists and general practitioners of modern diagnostic methods.

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.

Antibody Structure and Classes
The basic structure of an antibody consists of four protein chains: two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. These chains are held together by disulfide bonds and other non-covalent interactions, forming a Y-shaped structure.

Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...
