Fig. 2From: Infectious episodes during pregnancy, at particular mucosal sites, increase specific IgA1 or IgA2 subtype levels in human colostrumColostrum Ig levels associated with IE in respiratory tract and skin. Graphics show colostrum Ig amounts from H (zero) or IE groups (1, 2, 3 or 4 number of infectious episodes, respectively), associated with (a) respiratory tract (n zero = 423, n1 = 142, n2 = 41, n3 = 23 and n4 = 10) and (b) skin (n zero = 423, n1 = 25, n2 = 13 and n3 = 11). All values are represented as mean ± standard deviation (SD). All data are expressed in milligrams of Ig per milliliter of colostrum (mg / mL). Statistical analysis was performed using Pearson correlation test. *p < 0.05. ***p < 0.001Back to article page
