We determined the maternal-fetal transport of immunoglobulin G (IgG) during the third trimester of human pregnancy.
The concentration of IgG and its subclasses (IgG1-4) was determined in sera of blood samples from 38 pregnancies collected at the time of delivery from a peripheral maternal vein (MV) and from the placental umbilical artery (UA) and vein (UV). Gestational age varied between 28 and 42 weeks (WG).
Whereas placental weight showed a significant correlation with gestational age, the maternal level of IgG and the ratio of its subclasses did not vary with gestational age. At 28-33 WG (n = 15) the mean values in the UA (5.91 +/- 1.53 g/l) and UV (6.41 +/- 1.57 g/l) for total IgG concentration were lower than in the MV (10.74 +/- 2.55 g/l). At the end of gestation (37-42 WG, n = 12), IgG in both UA (11.21 +/- 1.95 g/l) and UV (12.26 +/- 2.06 g/l) exceeded the maternal concentration (9.69 +/- 1.84 g/l). In addition to the significant positive correlation between IgG concentration in the fetal circulation (UV + UA) and gestational age (28-42 WG), an increase in the positive difference between UV and UA at the end of pregnancy indicates that there is a substantial rise in placental IgG transport capacity.
All four subclasses IgG1-4 were detectable in the umbilical circulation (28-42 WG). Whereas IgG3 and IgG4 in UA and UV had a similar concentration as in MV and remained unchanged, IgG2 increased with gestation from 0.67/0.74 g/l (UA/UV, 28-33 WG) to 1.29/1.58 g/l (UA/UV, 37-42 WG), but nevertheless remained lower than the level found in the MV (2.65 +/- 1.12 g/l). The main increase in IgG concentration, however, was due to the substantial rise in the transport of IgG1, which increased from 4.37 +/- 1.24 (UA) and 4.94 +/- 1.52 g/l (UV) at 28-33 WG to 8.94 +/- 1.66 (UA) and 10.89 +/- 1.96 g/l (UV) at the end of gestation, which was even higher than the overall IgG concentration in MV.
我们测定了人类妊娠晚期免疫球蛋白G(IgG)的母胎转运情况。
对38例妊娠孕妇分娩时采集的外周母血静脉血(MV)、胎盘脐动脉血(UA)和脐静脉血(UV)样本中的血清进行IgG及其亚类(IgG1 - 4)浓度测定。孕周在28至42周(WG)之间。
胎盘重量与孕周显著相关,而母体IgG水平及其亚类比例不随孕周变化。在28 - 33 WG(n = 15)时,UA(5.91 ± 1.53 g/l)和UV(6.41 ± 1.57 g/l)中总IgG浓度的平均值低于MV(10.74 ± 2.55 g/l)。妊娠末期(37 - 42 WG,n = 12),UA(11.21 ± 1.95 g/l)和UV(12.26 ± 2.06 g/l)中的IgG超过母体浓度(9.69 ± 1.84 g/l)。除了胎儿循环(UV + UA)中IgG浓度与孕周(28 - 42 WG)之间存在显著正相关外,妊娠末期UV与UA之间正差值的增加表明胎盘IgG转运能力大幅上升。
在脐循环中可检测到所有四种IgG亚类(28 - 42 WG)。UA和UV中的IgG3和IgG4浓度与MV中的相似且保持不变,IgG2随孕周增加,从28 - 33 WG时的0.67/0.74 g/l(UA/UV)升至37 - 42 WG时的1.29/1.58 g/l(UA/UV),但仍低于MV中的水平(2.65 ± 1.12 g/l)。然而,IgG浓度的主要增加是由于IgG1转运的大幅上升,其在28 - 33 WG时UA为4.37 ± 1.24、UV为4.94 ± 1.52 g/l,到妊娠末期分别升至8.94 ± 1.66(UA)和10.89 ± 1.96 g/l(UV),甚至高于MV中的总IgG浓度。
