Why Are Young People Prone to IgA Nephropathy?
IgA Nephropathy, also known as Berger’s disease, presents a puzzling renal disorder primarily affecting the younger demographic. This condition involves the deposition of immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies in the glomeruli within theRead More…
Understanding Oral Allergy Syndrome: Exploring IgE-Mediated Food Allergies
Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS), also known as pollen-food syndrome, is a unique form of food allergy primarily classified under Type I hypersensitivity reactions, which are mediated by Immunoglobulin E (IgE). This conditionRead More…
Reference Values and Clinical Significance of Immunoglobulins IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD, and IgE
The immune system in humans principally performs its defensive functions through two types of lymphocytes, namely T cells and B cells. T cells destroy or suppress directly, while B cells generate antibodies.Read More…

Globally, the prevalence of food allergies in children is on the rise. Earlier onset allergies to milk, eggs, and wheat in children have a better prognosis, while allergies to peanuts, tree nuts,Read More…
How IgM Contributes to the Diagnosis of Infectious Diseases
The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, organs, and soluble molecular factors that collaboratively protect the body from harmful pathogens. One of these essential ‘soldiers’ in the battleground ofRead More…
IgM and Infant Immunity: An Essential Connection
The immune system relies on a complex network of cells and molecules to protect the body from infections and diseases. One key component of this defense system is Immunoglobulin M, or IgM,Read More…
IgA – The Unsung Heroes of Immune System
Our immune system is a complex network of intricate components that interact strategically to protect the body from harmful pathogens in the environment. As this system operates, a selection of defenders knownRead More…
Non-IgG: The Lesser-Known Component of the Human Immune System
Immunoglobulin G, or IgG, is often recognized as the primary defender in our immune system, dominating the literature and discussions on immune response. However, focusing solely on IgG can overlook the lesser-knownRead More…
