Question 1

is immune globulin antibodies a medication?

Accepted Answer

IVIg, SCIg: Immunoglobulins are proteins that aour body produce with the major function of neutralizing microbes. They are also called antibodies. Some people are congenitally deficient and receive a concentrate of immunoglobulins prepared from blood donors. When given intravenously is called ivig, given subcutaneously is scig. Another function is anti-inflammation, and is used in autoimmune conditions.

Question 2

took three lortabs night before a crp test, esr test, immunoglobulin test, and cbc test. would my abuse on the drug affect my results?

Accepted Answer

Will not be affected: Please get help immediately to stop this addiction of loratab.

Question 3

can lisinopril cause drug induced lupus that would make your immunoglobulin g raise and be elevated ?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Drug induced SLE is not a common side effect of Lisinopril. You may consult this site for more information on this topic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/lisinopril-oral-route/side-effects/DRG-20069129

Question 4

do foods contain immunoglobulins?

Accepted Answer

Probably not...: Immunoglobulins (antibodies) are proteins used by the immune system to identify and eliminate unknown cells (like germs). They are found in body fluids like blood, tears, saliva, & breast milk. If foods are consumed raw or barely cooked, there is a chance that you are also consuming immunoglobulins from that animal. In most cases, the cooking or pasteurization process destroys these proteins.

Question 5

what are the important physical properties of immunoglobulins?

Accepted Answer

Numerous: Not an easy question. Antibodies are made up of proteins and carbohydrates. They have numerous functions in the body, most importantly to assist the immune system in fighting infection. The 2 main regions are the fab portion and the fc portion with important "hinge" regions.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Part of immune sys: Immunoglobulins are proteins that we make that are part of our immune system. There are four main types igg, igm, IgA and ige all of which perform different functions.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

IgM: Igm is the class of immunoglobulins which is the largest.  The classes of immunoglobulin can be "sized" from largest to smallest is igm, iga, igd/ige, igg.

Question 10

what is immunoglobulin diversity generated by?

Accepted Answer

Combinatorial: The genes that encode our antigen receptors (immunoglobulin and T cell receptors) are made up of hundreds of gene segments. These "V-D-J" segments recombine in potentially millions of combinations so that each immune cell has one final version that makes a unique receptor. This process is random but if the cell encounters its antigen it will be activated and can turn into a "memory" cell.
