Pharmacological Action

Injection of immunoglobulin is a passive immunotherapy. It is a process of transferring a large amount of antibodies contained in immunoglobulin to the recipient, so that the recipient can quickly reach a temporary immune protection state from a low or no immune state. Because antibodies interact with antigens, they directly neutralize toxins and kill bacteria and viruses. Therefore, immunoglobulin products play a certain role in preventing bacterial and viral infections [1].
