| Research Abstract |
We studied blood plasma IgG antibody (IgG Ab) titer in Vibrio vulnificus patients and two control groups(chronic liver dysfunction group and normal liver function group). To determine the Vibrio vulnificus antigens, we investigated two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and western blot. We discovered the time course of IgG Ab titer and specific antigen. Although we could not conclude that the IgG Ab titer analysis system is useful for screening for people who are susceptible to Vibrio vulnificus infection, it seems possible to predict the prognosis of the patients.
