✦ Synopsis

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 equal level of antibody was found in the cord blood. All of the mothers had high antibody activities to VZV in IgG 1 and IgG 4 subclasses. The majority of the mothers were negative for IgG 2 and IgG 3 VZV antibodies, and the level of antibody found to be positive was very low. The IgG 1 antibody activity in the cord blood was almost equal to that of the maternal, and significantly higher level of IgG 4 antibody was found in the cord than maternal blood.
