The purpose of this paper is to establishes the FRIGEN effects on the determination of IgA, IgM, IgG, C3c, C4 cord-blood levels, by means of laser-nephelometry. The results show substantial interferences only in the IgA levels, whereas the other on almost all proteins are not affected, the found interference can be due to the amount of IgA bound to B-lipoprotein, that are precipitated by FRIGEN.
