Previous studies have shown that assessment of immunoglobulin subclasses in plasma cells by immunohistochemistry (IHC) may be useful in the histopathologic evaluation of autoimmune liver diseases.

However, further studies are necessary in order to validate the diagnostic utility of IgM and IgG immunohistochemistry in this specific scenario.
Sutures Cause Fewer Complications Than Staples With Cesarean Deliveries
There were less complications for women, after having a cesarean delivery, if sutures were used instead of staples to close the wound

Their research demonstrated that while the plasma cell-rich infiltrates seen in several forms of liver disease predominantly express IgG, PBC seems to be an exception, as most plasma cells in these patients express IgM. Their data indicated that a predominantly IgM+ plasma cell infiltrate, although not pathognomonic, should strongly support the diagnosis of PBC. The IgM/IgG ratio is particularly helpful distinguishing PBC from AIH.
