Abstract excerpt
In 47 children with coeliac disease, IgG1 was the dominant IgG subclass (mean 61%) in antibodies to gliadin, a protein component of wheat; IgG2 (22%) and IgG3 (15%) were also found. Very little IgG4 (3%) was detected. Both G2m(n)allotype and the age of the patient had an independent effect on the subclass distribution. The effects of these two factors seem similar to those described earlier on responses to...
