Commercially available mouse monoclonal antibodies to human IgG subclasses (IgG 1 to IgG 4) were used in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to examine the placental transfer of IgG subclass-specific antibodies to varicella-zoster virus (VZV). All 46 mothers had total IgG antibody to VZV, and an eq

## Abstract The normal immune response after primary varicellaβzoster virus (VZV) infection includes IgG subclass evolution to predominantly IgG1βtype antibodies, and maturation from low to high avidity antibodies which are maintained for life. Twentyβthree healthy and apparently immunoβcompetent c
Herpesvirus-infected cells usually express receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G. Varicella-zoster virus has so far been the sole exception in the family. Both immunehemadsorption and immunofluorescence techniques failed to detect the expression of such receptors. This observation exclude
A series of randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trials conducted from 1980 to the present provide the basis for appropriate management of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infections. Placebo recipients in these studies have also provided valuable natural history data on the clinical co
