IVIG Intravenous Immunoglobulin Gabriela Ma Claudia Tiago
IVIG ou IVIg Intravenous Immunoglobulin • IVIG is a blood product administered intravenously • It contains the pooled IgG extracted from the plasma of over one thousand blood donors • Immunoglobulin products from human plasma were first used in 1952 to treat immune deficiency. It was initially shown to be effective in ITP in 1981. • Treatment for: Immune deficiencies (plasma protein replacement therapy) • Autoimmune Diseases (anti-inflammatory at a high dose ≈1-2 g/Kg) Acute Infections • IVIG cost is climbing and well over $50/g. ($8,000 for a 80 kg person at 2g/kg) • IVIG's effects last between 2 weeks and 3 months • primary immune dysfunction: 100 to 400 mg/kg of body weight every 3 to 4 weeks. • autoimmune diseases: 2 grams per kilogram of body weight for three to six months over a five day course once a month. Then maintenance therapy of 100 to 400 mg/kg of body weight every 3 to 4 weeks follows.
Rational basis • IVIG: pool of IgG • Immunoglobulins: effector molecules of immune defense • Igs properties: immune complex Diversity Specificity Variable domains Cellular effector pathways Constant domain Fc Fc
IVIG mechanism of action OK • Neutralization ??? Target: harmful antibodies • Idiotypic Network Theory A e B = IDIOTYPE A e C = ISOTYPE A C B Vaz & Pordeus. Visita à imunologia. Arq. Bras. Cardiol. vol.85 no.5 São Paulo Nov. 2005
Fc mechanism of IVIG action • Antibody Feedback: Cross-linkingbetween BCR andFcIIR B cell blocked
IVIG mechanism of action The precise mechanism by which IVIG suppresses harmful inflammation has not been definitively established BUT…. is believed to involve the Fc receptor… How? Which one(s)? FcαR FcαRI Fcα/μR FcεR FcεRI FcεRII FcγRI FcγRIIIA FcγR FcγRIIA FcγRIIB1 FcγRIIIB FcγRIIB2 FcRn
IVIG mechanism action • Fc Receptors (FcyR) • a protein found on the surface of NK cells, macrophages, neutrophils, mast cells and others • FcγRs are the most important Fc receptors for inducing phagocytosis of opsonized microbes
Glycoforms of IgG (Asn297) Carbohydrate whit terminal sugar residues such as galactose, sialic acid, N-acetylglucosamine, and fucose • more than 30 different antibody glycovariants have been detected in human serum, with about 25%–30% of them in the IgGglycoform. • Thus, these variants, multiplied by the four different IgG subclasses, result in more than 120 different glycoproteins in the IVIG preparation that could contain the active anti-inflammatory component
IVIG has anti-inflammatory effect at a high dose ≈1-2 g/Kg • 120 different glycoproteins in the IVIG preparation • terminal sugar residues of sialic acid confers anti-inflammatory property • 1-3% of IgGs in IVIG have sFc (sialylation) • recombinant sFc: enhanced 35 fold of action in vivo Carbohydrate Carbohydrate-Binding Proteins C-Type Lectins Siglecs Galectins CD1
DC-SIGN is a C-type lectin receptor • binds to mannose type carbohydrates. • Phagocytosis • Cell rolling interactions (ICAM) and activation of CD4+ T cells • Binds sFc anti-inflammatory responses • Population of regulatory macrophage • Splenic Marginal Zone

Objective: • To define the mechanism by which the 2,6-sialylated Fc mediates an anti- inflammatory response • To identify the properties of the regulatory macrophage population • To identify the receptor required for initiating this pathway in response to 2,6-sialylatedFc.
