Immunoglobulin Levels and their Bactericidal Activity in Serums of Diabetic Patients

Abstract

Serum samples were collected from patients suffering from diabetes mellitus, the samples subjected to blood glucose test , Immunoglobulin level detection by Single Radial Immunodifussion (SRID) plates and bactericidal activity test against a reference strain of Escherichia coli ATCC25922 , IgG level decreased in about (91.6%) while IgM level decreased in about (36.11%) , and their serum showed low bactericidal activity when mixed with bacterial cells .
