NODA ALBELO, Amauri Lázaro; VIDAL TALLET, Lázaro Arturo  and  RODRIGUEZ RAMOS, Boris. Therapeutic applications of human immunoglobulines in Pediatrics. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2013, vol.85, n.2, pp. 230-241. ISSN 0034-7531.

There are presently several pharmaceuticals made up of immunoglobulines (fundamentally IgG) purified by several methods, which means that they can be administered by different routes (intramuscularly, intravenously and subcutaneously). These products have a wide spectrum of prescriptions for several diseases. The immunoglobulins are the final effectors of the humoral immune response, so their fundamental prescriptions cover replacement therapies in diseases with antibody production deficit, situations requiring immediate presence of neutralizing antibodies such as post-exposure therapies, and diseases with immune response deregulation.

Keywords : immunoglobulins; passive immunization; post-exposure prophylaxis; immunoregulation.
