Quantitation of IgM in 875 individuals ranging in age from 2 to 95 years revealed that levels in females increased steadily until 15 years of age, remaind high until 40, decreased during the forties and fifties and remained stable after 60. Levels in males remained stable after 2 years of age.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
