[IgG4 levels in polyvalent immunoglobulins and immunoglobulins prepared by precipitation with caprylic acid].
Levels of IgG4 in immunoglobulin preparations obtained either by conventional ethanol fractionation or by ethanol and caprylic acid fractionation (Allergam) were measured by an enzyme-immunoassay (competitive Elisa). In 9 ethanol preparations, the mean percentage of IgG4 was 2.1% +/- 0.5. In 10 preparations of Allergam, the mean percentage of IgG4 was 4.6% +/- 1. The concentration of IgG4 in Allergam preparations is about twice the concentration found in conventional ethanol preparations.
