The human immune system serves as a defense mechanism, protecting the body from many potentially damaging substances such as cancer cells, blood or tissues from another person, microorganisms, or toxins. In individuals with immune deficiency disorders, their immune system is absent or is functioning incorrectly.
Immune disorders can be inborn (where the individual is born with a malfunctioning immune system), or be the result of a virus, or chemotherapy. There are a wide variety of immunodeficiency disorders that affect millions of men, women, and children worldwide, and there are a wide variety of treatments.
Immune globulin intravenous (human) therapies (IGIVs) can vary significantly since they are made using different production processes. Although high biological activity is the primary objective in IGIV manufacturing, these processes result in varying product features that may affect biological activity and ultimately the efficacy of the IGIV.
