Abstract

Our previous results showed higher level of anti-Hib IgG (2.41μg/ml) average geometric mean concentration (GMC) regardless of age and gender, followed by levels of IgM (0.91μg/ml) and IgA (0.34μg/ml), reflecting the prevalence of immunity against Hib. Current study was evaluated the avidity profile for these high anti-Hib concentration. The IgM avidity analysis did not revealed any significant results between male and female values. While, the average of IgA avidity in male samples were significantly (P< 0.05) higher than the average of female. Also, The result showed that high percentage of population has moderate to high IgG avidity. The study showed lower avidity percentages of both IgM and IgA comparing to IgG. More studies are suggested to be done on individuals with low avidity considering the secondary immunodeficiency in participant's history.
