Higher IgG2 in females compared to males in a human influenza study.
| Isotype | n1,n2 | Median Males | Median Females | CI Males | CI Females | p Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IgG2 | 5,14 | 2.23 | 3.98 | 0.34–2.91 | 2.09–6.71 | 0.046 |
| IgG2/IgG3 | 5,14 | 2.19 | 4.22 | 0.63–8.35 | 0.73–6.71 | >0.99 |
| IgG2/IgG1 | 5,14 | 0.27 | 0.63 | 0.19–1.02 | 0.29–1.14 | 0.44 |
| IgG2/IgA | 5,14 | 1.35 | 3.03 | 1.06–1.76 | 0.77–3.92 | 0.22 |
IgG2 results from Figure 5, including participant numbers (n1 males, n2 females), medians (mg/mL for IgG2), and CI values, are tabulated. p values are bolded when p < 0.05 for the comparison between groups (Mann–Whitney rank-based test).
