Inadequacy of musocal IgM antibodies in selective IgA deficiency: Excretion of attenuated polio viruses is prolonged

Abstract

A nationwide vaccination campaign with oral poliovirus vaccine was organized in Finland in 1985 in order to cease an outbreak of poliomyelitis. We followed eight IgA-deficient individuals and nine controls for poliovirus excretion in feces and for antibody responses in serum and saliva. Five weeks after oral poliovirus vaccination all eight IgA-deficient individuals were still excreting polioviruses, in contrast to one of nine controls. The concentration of polioviruses, as estimated by a semi-quantitative immunofluorescent assay, was generally higher and the test was significantly more often positive in the samples from the IgA-deficient individuals. Although serum levels of antibodies to poliovirus type 3 were lower in IgA-deficient individuals before vaccination, both measurements showed that the two groups had similar antibody levels 4 weeks after vaccination. IgA-deficient individuals lacked salivary IgA antibodies to poliovirus types 1 and 3 but had increased levels of IgM antipolio antibodies, which were shown to carry secretory component. We conclude that the mucosal IgM antibodies of IgA-deficient individuals eliminate polioviruses less efficiently than do the IgA antibodies of normal individuals.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
