Immunomodulators

QuestionAnswer
Different types of immunity that can be conferred to humans Vaccines- Live or attenuated, Toxoids0inactivated toxins, Immune globulins-antibodes from animals or humans
active immunity characteristics Detection of antibosies in 7-10d, Mostly permanent immunity, can not be inhibited by passive immunity, may not be effective in immune compromised
Immune globulins are antibodies that are from external suorce, animals or human sera
Human sera is prefered due to less Type III it is pooled from 3000-20,000 to make 1 lot of IgG (90%), trace IgM, IgA, and other plasma proteins
Immune globulins MOA Antibodies neutralize or eliminate pathogenic of toxic molecules or cause compliment medited cytotoxcity half life is 18-32 days
Passive immunity acts Immediately as a temporary immunity (days-weeks) with a specif Immunoglobulin
IMIG Non-specific coverage Gamastan, Gammar
IMIG specific coverage Hep B, varicella-zoster,vaccinia,rabies,tetanus
IVIG specific coverage RSV,CMV
IVIG no-specific coverage polygam, Gammagard,Gamimune,Carimune,Octagam, gamunex
Immune globulin therapy is derived from high titers of specific IgG from plasma pools and obtained from immunized donors- it will have a high affinity for pathogenic antigens
Non-specific IM & IV immune globulins have coverage over Herpes 1,2,6, 7, varicella zoster, Epstein-barr, measles, mumps, rubella, parvovirus B19, bacteria-mycoplasma pneumonia, chlymadia pneumomia, helicobacter pylori, tetanus
Non-speci IVIG FDA indications Primary immunodeficiency, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, kawasaki disease, bone marrow transplant
OFF labels uses for immune globulins Neonatal sepsis, Guille Barre, autoimmune diseases, intractable epilepsy, chronic inflammatory demyelination polyneuropathy, SLE
IMIG adeverse effects include Injection site pain, tenderness, muscle stiffness
IVIG adverse effects include (infusion)-chills, fever, hypotension- Management- slow rate, tylenol, benedryl, or dilute
General consequences of to much IgG ARF, Hematologic neutropenia, coronary thrombosis, Neurologic -aseptic meningitis, Dermatologic, Infectious disease transmission
IVIG has a higher utilization in Canada than in the US but there has been a 20% increase per year it is $70/gram
IVIG administration Start at 0.6mL/kg/hr x 30minutes, if tolerates increase to 1.2mL/kg/hrx 30, if tolerates increase to 2.4mL/kg/hrx 30min, if tolerates increase to 4mL/kg/hr until entire volume is inserted into patient
