[Immunoglobulins and their specific activity in cholera].
The authors studied the quantitative content of nonspecific immunoglobulins and antibodies of the IgG-, IgA-, and IgM-classes to the O-antigen of the cholera vibrio. There proved to be no marked dynamics of the quantitative immunoglobulins indices of various classes established at periods from the 3rd and the 18th day from the beginning of the disease in persons who sustained cholera. In persons who sustained cholera in the nonendemic focus of the disease serum antibodies were represented chiefly by the IgM-antibodies. The formation of IgA-antibodies in the persons examined differed from the regularities detected for the IgG- and IgM-classes and were characterized by rapidity and short duration. No correlation was found between the immunoglobulin levels of various classes and the serum antibody levels in case of cholera affection.
