Objective:
Aim: To detect anti-measles viruses IgG and IgM antibodies using rapid test Cassette and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Patients And Methods:
Materials and Methods: From October 2024 to December 2024, 352 blood samples obtained from female individuals, including 176 women who had abortions and 176 women with normal pregnancies. IgG and IgM samples were detected using the Cassette and ELISA methods.
Results:
Results: Recent measles virus infections, as indicated by rapid IgM test results, showed no significant difference between the abortion group and the control group p=0.248. Additionally, past infections, confirmed by rapid IgG tests, were not significantly different between the patient group and the control group p=0.135. Overall, there was no significant difference in measles virus IgM and IgG levels between the abortion and control groups p>0.05.
Conclusion:
Conclusions: The level of education showed significant impact on abortion. Age, residency, and occupation do not affect the risk of abortion, while a low level of education is a significant risk factor for abortion. MV, there was no significant difference in the levels of IgM and IgG between the abortion group and the control group.

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.

Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
