These patients all gave similar positive results as did a number of control sera with no known silicone exposure. We conclude that this assay does not measure serum levels of antibodies to silicone.enHumansSilicone ElastomersImmunoglobulin GMiddle AgedChildChild, PreschoolInfant, NewbornMaleJournal article002003122410.1007/s00383-002-0892-20001831889000072-s2.0-003750374758306Ashwood, P.
