The prediction of serum IgG levels by scanning densitometry.
A novel approach has been described. In this method the serum IgG level can be predicted with a fair degree of accuracy by scanning densitometry and total serum protein values. This approach might be useful as a screening procedure for hypogammaglobulinemia.
