[immunoglobulins in amniotic fluid in normal pregnancy and fetal malformation (author's transl)].

In 20 cases of normal pregnancy and 9 cases of foetal monstrosities the immunoglobulins G, A, M and albumin C3C and alpha 2MG were determined in the amniotic fluid. In neural tube defects the IgG, IgA and albumin concentrations were clearly above those found in normal pregnancies. IgM was not found in any of the cases, whereas alpha 2MG occurred in two cases of foetal monstrosity. There was no difference in C3C concentrations of both groups.
