- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of immunoglobulin (Ig) substitution therapy in patients with antibody deficiencies. Examples of antibody deficiencies are selective IgA deficiency, common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and agammaglobulinemias. A lack of response to common vaccines is one of the clinical indications for Ig substitution therapy. An in vitro assay can be used to determine endogenous Ig production.
