Molecular and immunological biomarkers to predict IVIg response.

Autor(es): Galeotti Caroline.; Kaveri Srini V.; Bayry Jagadeesh


Resumo: Some patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases treated with intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIg) as a first line therapy are refractory. Identification of predictive biomarker(s) to segregate responders and non-responders to IVIg therapy remains critical. A number of biomarkers, particularly in Kawasaki disease, have shown potential for predicting response to IVIg.
