Test Information:
IgG is the major immunoglobulin in the blood and is produced in copious amounts during secondary immune responses. IgG molecules are the only antibodies that can pass from mother to fetus. Quantification of IgG can be used to evaluate humoral immunity; detect or monitor IgG monoclonal gammopathies and immune deficiencies.
