“…2,6,7,8 It has been shown that non-neutralizing anti-CV-B4 IgG obtained from serum of patients can increase the infection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with CV-B4, which results in production of IFNa and other inflammatory cytokines. 9,10,11,12,13,14 The role of enhancing IgG levels in the outcome of CVB4 infections and other conditions such type 1 diabetes, cannot be ignored. 12,14 However the impact of anti-CV-B4 enhancing activity of serum/IgG in the infection with this virus, in vivo, remains to be investigated.…”
