Serum immunoglobulins IgG, IgM, and IgA in maternal cord blood pairs from infants of normal and low birthweights in Tanzania.
Open accessAbstract
Serum total protein, albumin, IgG, IgM, and IgA were determined in cord blood of 54 term infants appropriate-for-gestation-age (AGA), 14 preterm AGA infants, and 21 small-for-dates infants, and in their mothers immediately after delivery in Dar-es-Salaam. The mean serum levels of total protein, albumin, and IgG in mothers who delivered a term AGA infant were 6.8 g/100 ml, 2.9 g/100 ml, and 1840 mg/100 ml respectively, whereas those from their infants were 6.9 g/100 ml, 4.1 g/100 ml, and 1471 mg/100 ml. The de novo synthesis of IgM and IgA during fetal life seems to be activated at an earlier gestational age than in infants in Western countries; this fact subsequently resulted in a higher detection rate for IgM and IgA in cord blood of term AGA infants. IgG in Tanzanian mothers was generally higher than in corresponding cord blood sera, which is contrary to the finding in Europe.

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.
