The interaction of anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody deposition with immune elimination of bovine serum albumin in the rabbit.

abstract：:Polyspecific IgG given intravenously at high doses (IVIG) is used for immunomodulatory therapy in autoimmune diseases such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and myasthenia gravis. It is assumed that the clinical effect is brought about in part by a modulation of mononuclear phagocyte function, in particular by an...
