An electro-immunoassay technique was used to determine simultaneously immunoglobulin G (IgG) and albumin concentrations in serum and extracts of gingival tissue comprising the pocket wall. Assays of samples obtained from seven patients with juvenile periodontitis (mean age, 18 years) indicated that local synthesis accounted for 72% of the IgG found in the gingiva.
