Naturally Occurring Antibodies (NAbs)
Author: Hans U. LutzPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461434610
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
This volume illustrates the functional properties of NAbs. Authors from pioneering groups report in their chapters on the tissue homeostatic, tissue regenerating and regulatory properties of NAbs and NAbs in pooled human IgG. Scientists interested in the regulation and modulation of components of the immune system found a whole variety of NAbs to cytokines with regulatory and protective functions and NAbs that modulate, e.g., dendritic cells, regulatory T cells, B cells and granulocytes. Considering the large plasma pools and initial difficulties in preparing IVIG that does not induce adverse effects upon infusion into recipients, this volume ends with a historical chapter on how pooled human plasma was fractionated and the IgG component pretreated for a safe intravenous application.

Pages : 8
Book Description
Although intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been identified as a potentially beneficial therapy for patients with paraneoplastic disorders, its effectiveness -- particularly with regard to non-neurological manifestations -- has not been established. The purpose of this report is to provide a synthesis of the available evidence on the clinical effectiveness of off-label use of IVIG for non-neurological paraneoplastic disorders. This report is complementary to a 2017 CADTH Rapid Response, Summary of Abstracts report: "Off-Label Use of Intravenous Immunoglobulin for Solid Organ Transplant Rejection, Paraneoplastic Disorders, or Recurrent Miscarriage: Clinical Effectiveness".
