IgG subclasses in acne vulgaris.
IgG subclasses were measured in male patients with very low grade or severe acne. No IgG subclass deficiencies were found. Patients with severe acne had a significant increase in total IgG attributable to their exposure to antigens which stimulate the production of antibodies in the IgG2 and IgG3 subclasses.
