  • Title: Immunoglobulin in intestinal secretions.
    Author: Cutropia de Guirao C.
    Journal: Acta Gastroenterol Latinoam; 1977 Dec; 7(4):293-9. PubMed ID: 617559.
    Abstract:
    The objective of the present investigation is the study and interpretation of the role played by the immunoglobulins, especially IgA, during acute diarrhea in children. IgA, IGG and IgM values in serum and IgA in intestinal secretions were studied in a group of children (between 3 months and 5 years of age) during diarrhea, convalescence and in normals. The method of simple radial immunodiffusion according to Mancini was employed. IgA is the immunoglobulin which suffers the greastest alteration in acute diarrhea. The precipitation halos (the average values), were lower during the diarrhea than in convalescence and in normals.
