IgG4 is a subclass of the immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody that plays a key role in the immune response. IgG4 antibodies are present in the blood serum of healthy individuals and are involved in the recognition and neutralization of a wide range of antigens, including bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances. They are particularly important in protecting against chronic infections and in regulating the immune response in autoimmune diseases. However, elevated levels of IgG4 in serum have been associated with several diseases, including autoimmune pancreatitis, sclerosing cholangitis, allergy and IgG4-related disease, a multi-system disorder characterized by fibrosis and inflammation in various organs.
