| IVIG | Derived from human plasma; contains a mixture of antibodies |
| Antibodies in the IVIG saturate Fc receptors on immune cells, preventing them from recognizing auto-antibody-coated platelets and destroying them. | IVIG |
| Derived from human plasma where donors were exposed to the D-antigen. | Rho(D) immune globulin (anti-D immune globulin) |
| After administration of anti-D immune globulin, the anti-D coated RBCs saturate the Fc receptor sites on macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system of the spleen. This results in preferential destruction of those RBCs. This may spare the destruction of antibody-coated platelets. | Possible MOA for Rho(D) immune globulin (anti-D immune globulin) for treating ITP |
