Abstract excerpt
Intravenous immunoglobulin preparations (IVIG) have shown positive effects in the treatment of immune defects and autoimmune diseases. It is not clear how IVIG interacts with the components of the immune system. To investigate this, we cloned previously a large number of phage displayed IgG Fab fragments derived from three patients with autoimmune thrombocytopenia (AITP) that were specifically bound by IVIG...
