Fig. 3. Fc fucosylation levels of VAR2CSA-specifc IgG is temporally stable.

Fig. 3

a Fc fucosylation levels of total plasma IgG1 (gray, n = 72) and IgG1 with specificity for VAR2CSA (orange, n = 50), VAR6 (green, n = 65), and GLURP (blue, n = 43) in non-pregnant Ghanaian women exposed to VAR2CSA during one or more previous pregnancies. Fc fucosylation levels of total plasma IgG1 from unexposed Dutch females (n = 5) are included as controls. Medians and densities are shown. Statistically significant pairwise differences between antigen-specific IgG and total IgG (multiple two-sided Wilcoxon signed-rank tests with Bonferroni correction) are indicated (****P < 0.0001). b Correlation between fucosylation levels of VAR2CSA-specific IgG1 and parity. c Correlation between fucosylation levels of VAR2CSA-specific IgG1 and time since last pregnancy. Statistical significance of correlations are shown (Spearman’s correlations. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; ****P < 0.0001).
