  • Title: [Differences in the synthesis of IgA antibodies against T-dependent antigens in males and females].
    Author: Campos R, Moreno L, Barranco C, Kumate J.
    Journal: Arch Invest Med (Mex); 1989; 20(3):233-7. PubMed ID: 2633719.
    Abstract:
    Rats immunized with T-dependent antigens revealed a greater specific IgA and IgM antibody response in females. There was no significant difference in the IgG antibody response. Quantitative differences in the IgA and IgM antibody response between males and females may be explained by genetics and hormonals factors. Greater IgA response in females may be another factor explaining the majority of female survival.
