Abstract excerpt
Eighty-two mono- or dizygotic Caucasian twins vaccinated with a 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine, who had previously had their IgG2 antibody levels to pneumococcus type 1 determined before and after vaccination, were included in this study. Their IgG2 antibody levels were related to their G1m and G2m allotypes/phenotypes and their Gm amounts. Eight different Gm phenotypes were found and characteristically IgG2...
