Commercially available assays for IgG subclass determination are calibrated against various preparations, and so specific reference values are required for each of them. Using Optilite® reagents from The Binding Site Group Ltd., we sought to determine the pediatric IgG and IgG subclass reference intervals with respect to the ERM-DA470k certified reference material. Levels of IgG and IgG subclasses were analyzed in serum samples collected from a large cohort of PID-free children and adolescents. Reference intervals were calculated for previously published age groups (6-12 months, 12-18 months, 18 months-2 years, 2-3 years, 3-4 years, 4-6 years, 6-9 years, 9-12 years and 12-18 years), according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute's C28-A3c protocol. A total of 456 serum samples were analyzed. The correlation between the total IgG and the sum of the IgG subclasses was good (r2=0.96). No statistically significant gender-specific differences were observed. Our results for the changes over time in IgG and IgG subclass levels are consistent with previous reports. The differences between our lower/upper reference limits and those in the literature are probably due to variations in calibration. Our present results provide a reliable basis for the diagnosis of PIDs in childhood and for the accreditation of laboratories using Optilite® immunoturbidimetric reagents for IgG subclass measurement. Laboratory scientists and clinicians should be aware of the need for manufacturer-specific IgG subclass reference intervals.Show less >
