What is Immunoglobulin IgG2?
Immunoglobulin G2 (IgG2) is a subclass of IgG antibodies that plays an essential role in the immune system by offering protection against bacterial infections, particularly those caused by polysaccharide-encapsulated bacteria such as pneumococci and meningococci.
Why should you have Immunoglobulin IgG2 tested?
Testing for IgG2 can be useful for identifying specific immunity problems, especially in cases where individuals frequently experience infections caused by polysaccharide-encapsulated bacteria. It also assists in the diagnosis of certain immunodeficiencies.
What does it indicate?
IgG2 levels offer insight into the body's response to specific types of bacterial infections. Abnormal levels may indicate an underlying problem with the immune system, specifically related to the defense against certain bacteria.
What does a high IgG2 level mean?
An increased level of IgG2 may indicate a recent or chronic exposure to specific bacterial pathogens. It may also suggest an overactive immune response against these specific infections.
What does a low IgG2 level mean?
A low level of IgG2 may indicate a reduced ability of the immune system to effectively respond to infections caused by polysaccharide-encapsulated bacteria. This can be a sign of a specific immunodeficiency, making individuals more susceptible to such infections.
