  • Title: [Determination of secretory immunoglobulin A in cervicovaginal secretions of healthy women with an ELISA method].
    Author: Mendling W, Metzger P.
    Journal: Geburtshilfe Frauenheilkd; 1994 Jul; 54(7):417-20. PubMed ID: 7926576.
    Abstract:
    Secretory IgA of the cervico-vaginal secretions was determined for the first time using a modified ELISA method following the recommendations of Sohl Akerlund et al. (Scand. J. Immunol. 6 [1977] 1275). The results were compared with the total protein content of the cervico-vaginal secretions, which were within the normal limits reported in literature. Women in the middle of the menstrual cycle and those taking anti-ovulants, showed lower and those during pregnancy higher values. Secretory sIgA could not be detected in vaginal secretions of hysterectomised women.
