Monitoring Therapeutic Interventions
The panel serves as an excellent biomarker for:
● Immunomodulatory therapy effectiveness [38]
● Nutritional intervention outcomes [39]
● Response to immunoglobulin replacement therapy [40]
Integration with Other Diagnostics
Optimal clinical utility is achieved when combined with:
● Specific antibody responses (vaccine titers) [41]
● Lymphocyte subsets (CD4, CD8, NK cells) [42]
● Cytokine profiles [43]
● Intestinal permeability markers [44]
Therapeutic Interventions for Immune Balance
Nutritional Support Strategies
For IgA Deficiency
● Probiotics: Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains increase
sIgA production [45]
● Prebiotics: Inulin and galacto-oligosaccharides support
IgA-producing B cells [46]
● Colostrum supplementation: Rich in secretory IgA [47]
● Vitamin A: Essential for IgA class switching and secretion [48]
For IgG Optimization
● Vitamin D: Modulates B cell maturation and antibody
production [49]
