Comparative StudySerum immunoglobulin G subclasses in patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease of different disease activities.
Different concentrations of immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass-producing cells in the mucosa of patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease have previously been described. ⋯ The serum concentrations of IgG, IgA, IgM, and IgG subclasses are of little value in the diagnostic procedures in individual patients and are not superior to conventional laboratory tests such as sedimentation rate and serum concentrations of orosomucoid and albumin.
