    This study established normal ranges for immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclasses in healthy children aged 6 months to 5 years. Very low IgG2 levels were observed in some healthy children, questioning the significance of IgG2 deficiency in unexplained infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Immunology
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclasses play critical roles in immune defense.
    • Establishing normal reference ranges for IgG subclasses in pediatric populations is essential for diagnosing immune deficiencies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish normal ranges for IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3 subclasses in healthy children aged 6 months to 5 years.
    • To investigate the clinical significance of IgG2 levels in healthy children.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized commercially available monoclonal antisera for quantitative analysis.
    • Analyzed serum samples from a cohort of healthy children within the specified age group.

    Main Results:

    • Established normal reference ranges for IgG1, IgG2, and IgG3 subclasses.

  • Identified very low IgG2 concentrations in a subset of healthy children.
  • Found that IgG4 values segregated into two distinct populations, preventing the establishment of a single normal range.

    • Conclusions:

    • The established ranges provide a benchmark for pediatric IgG subclass assessment.
    • The presence of low IgG2 in healthy children warrants re-evaluation of IgG2 deficiency as a sole indicator for infections.
    • Further research is needed to understand the bimodal distribution of IgG4 in healthy children.
