A member asked:
Do long term bone transplant patients always have to get ivig . what subclasses of ig would they not produce?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IgG, all subtypes: Many drugs used to prevent graft-versus-host disease diminish the amount of antibodies made by the immune system. Most patients need IVIG. IVIG does not give significant amounts of any immunoglobulin except for IgG. All subclasses of IgG may be deficient in such patients.
