Glycosylation and Placental Transport of Immunoglobulin G.
Open accessAbstract
In order to investigate the relationship between the changes in glycosylation and the placental materno-fetal transport of Immunoglobulin G (IgG), glycosylation profiles of IgG from healthy pregnant women and their umbilical cords at delivery were compared by use of a recently established high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. From the results of neutral oligosaccharide analysis, the digalactosyl IgG glycoform (G2) was markedly increased in pregnant women as compared with that in age-matched controls. Furthermore, the quantity of the digalactosyl glycoform in the umbilical cord was found to be higher than that in the mother. These findings demonstrate the existence of a placental selective transport with a preference for a digalactosyl oligosaccharide-linked IgG molecule. Concerning IgG sialo-oligosaccharides, however, no selective transport was observed between mother and umbilical cord. The mechanism and clinical importance of greater galactosylation in IgG still remain unclear, but we suggest that the relationship between changes in IgG galactosylation and the placental selective transport deserves further attention.

“Supportive evidence for the hypothesis of preferential transport of glycosylated IgG comes from studies in the 1990s, which demonstrated reduced concentrations of nonglycosylated IgG and higher concentrations of galactosylated IgG in newborn infants (85, 86).”

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.
