Abstract
The study was done to determine IgG and IgM antitetanus antibodies in mothers after antenatal immunization, and extent of transfer to the baby as measured by cord levels of tetanus specific IgG and IgM by ELISA using enzyme penicillinase and to study the effect of nutritional status of mothers on antibody response to tetanus toxoid and corresponding cord levels also to determine the number of doses required for protective antibody levels in cord blood. The results obtained in sera of 100 mothers at the time of delivery and their respective cord sera and results of 43 different control sera are discussed using ELISA technique.
