Nasal IgA important for protection from respiratory syncytial virus infection.
2004 SEP 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Nasal IgA antibodies are important for protection from natural respiratory syncytial virus infection in adults.
"Virus-specific nasal immunoglobulin (Ig) A and serum antibody titers in 67 respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infected adults were compared with titers in age-matched uninfected control subjects. Control subjects had significantly higher levels of nasal IgA and serum IgG to the RSV F, Ga, and Gb proteins than infected subjects. Serum neutralizing-antibody titers to group A and B RSV strains were also lower in infected subjects, although differences were not as large," researchers in the United States report.
"Multivariate analysis found that low RSV-specific nasal IgA was an independently significant risk factor for RSV infection," wrote Edward E. Walsh and Ann R. Falsey at the University of Rochester.
