Global Immunoglobulin Market – Insights
An immunoglobulin (IG), also known as an antibody, is a protein produced mainly by plasma cells. The immune system uses IGs to neutralize pathogens such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses. The immune response of IG is highly complex and very specific. There are different types of IGs that differ in their biological features, structure, target specificity, and distribution such as IgG, IgA, and IgM. These IGs can be administered intravenously and subcutaneously for the treatment of various immunological and neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Primary Humoral Immunodeficiency (PIDD), Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura (ITP), and autoimmune haemolytic anemia. IG also finds application in the field of hematology, neurology, immunology, dermatology, ophthalmology, nephrology and rheumatology. Assessment of the IG isotype can offer valuable perspective regarding complex humoral immune response.
