A member asked:

What is means by 'staphylococcus aureus will bind igg molecules the wrong way round by this non-immune mechanism.' ?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Clarify: This statement does not make any sense. Can you provide more information associated with this statement? IgG is the major defense against staph but there are innate immune responses (eg. Toll like receptors) without involving antibody involved in the defenses.

Dr Keith and 3 doctors agreed
