[Treatment of chronic autoimmune thrombopenic purpura with intravenous immunoglobulins. Study of 18 cases]. 1983

M Janvier, and J P Clauvel, and G Tobelem, and W Vainchenker, and M Seligmann, and M Boiron

The authors reported the effect of high dose intravenous immunoglobulin therapy in 18 patients with chronic autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura. A good but transitory response was observed in 60% of the cases. The intensity of the response was variable, the duration was between 11 and 26 days. The mechanism of the effect of this therapy is poorly understood. Since this therapy is expensive and the response inconsistent and transitory, the indications are limited.

D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
