Number of Immunoglobulin G molecules in 1 ml of serum
-I made a bionumber page
http://bionumbers.hms.harvard.edu/bionumber.aspx?&id=110382
-about 4E16

-Serum levels of immunoglobulins
--1090 mg/dl for IgG
--number of antibodies per mL of sera: (1090*"mg"/(1*"dL"))*((10*"dL")/(1*"L"))*((1*"L")/(1000*"mL"))*((1*"g")/(1090*"mg"))*((1*"mol")/(150000*"g"))*(6.02E23*"molecules"/(1*"mol"))=4.01E16 molecules/mL

--Serum levels of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM) in a general adult population and their relationship with alcohol consumption, smoking and common metabolic abnormalities
--http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2276914/
--this is a nice paper because it looks at antibody levels of smokers, alcoholics, obese people, etc.
--table 1 on page 4 (Serum immunoglobulin (Ig) levels in relation to sex, alcohol consumption, and smoking.)
