The most abundant immunoglobulin isotype in human serum is IgG. IgG immunoglobulins are comprised of 4 subclasses, designated IgG1 through IgG4. Of total IgG, approximately 65% is IgG1, 25% is IgG2, 6% is IgG3, and 4% is IgG4. Each IgG subclass contains structurally unique portions of the constant region of the gamma heavy chain. IgG subclass 4-related disease is a systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, most often occurring in middle-aged and older men. Several organ systems can be involved, and the disease encompasses many previous and newly described diseases such as autoimmune pancreatitis; Mikulicz disease and sclerosing sialadenitis; inflammatory orbital pseudotumor; chronic sclerosing aortitis; Riedel thyroiditis, a subset of Hashimoto thyroiditis; IgG4-related interstitial pneumonitis; and IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis. These entities may be characterized by tumor-like swelling of the involved organs with infiltration by numerous IgG4-positive plasma cells with accompanying fibrosis. In addition, elevated serum concentrations of IgG4 are found in at least 50% of patients diagnosed with IgG4-related disease. The diagnosis of IgG4-related disease may require a tissue biopsy of the affected organ demonstrating the aforementioned histological features. It is recommended that patients suspected of having an IgG4-related disease have their serum IgG4 measured. 0- or =18 years: 2.4-121.0 mg/dL 1.

Immunoglobulin G1 In adults, IgG1 is the predominant subclass, accounting for approximately 70% of total IgG, and IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 account for approximately 20%, 7%, and 3% of the total, respectively. From: Avery's Diseases of the Newborn (Tenth Edition), 2018 Related terms: • Therapeutic Procedure • B Cell • T Cell • Patient • Cytokine • Monoclonal Antibody • Immunoglobulin E • Immunoglobulin G3 • Immunoglobulin G4 Christy A. Thomson, in Encyclopedia of Immunobiology, 2016 IgG1 IgG1 is the most abundant IgG subclass in human sera and is important for mediating antibody responses against viral pathogens. It does so by binding to soluble proteins and membrane protein antigens via its variable domain and concomitantly activating effector mechanisms of the innate immune system. IgG1 can effectively bind to C1q causing complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and can bind to each of the different Fc receptors resulting in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Historically, the IgG1 subclass is the modality of choice for antibody therapeutics ( Salfeld, 2007). It has desirable biophysical properties including its relatively high thermostability, monomeric nature, and average flexible hinge region containing only two disulfide bonds. In situations where the goal of the therapeutic requires ADCC or CDC (e.g., elimination of cancer cells), IgG1 is preferred. Recent engineering efforts have been aimed at mutating the IgG1 Fc to improve interactions with FcγRs and...

A key part of the adaptive immune response is the production of an epitope-diverse, polyclonal antibody mixture that is capable of neutralizing invading pathogens or disease-causing molecules through binding interference and by mediating humoral and cellular effector functions. Avidity — the accumulated binding strength derived from the affinities of multiple individual non-covalent interactions — is fundamental to virtually all aspects of antibody biology, including antibody–antigen binding, clonal selection and effector functions.
