OBJECTIVE: To determine the pediatric reference intervals for the Dade Behring IgG subclass reagents. DESIGN AND METHODS: Blood samples of healthy children and adolescents were analyzed to determine the level of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and the IgG subclass using the reagents of Dade Behring Marburg GmbH. RESULTS: The reference intervals categorized by age were reported from a total of 436 samples. There was an excellent correlation between the total IgG and the sum of the IgG subclasses. CONCLUSIONS: Our data provide the missing pediatric reference intervals and enable the use of the Dade Behring nephelometric IgG subclass reagents in children and adolescents. 2010 The Canadian Society of Clinical Chemists.
