GLOBULINE [15 records]

Record 1 2014-04-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medication
  • Immunology
CONT

Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) is a concentrated anti-human T-lymphocyte immunoglobulin preparation derived from rabbits after immunization with a T-lymphoblast cell line. ATG is an immunosuppressive product for the prevention and treatment of acute rejection following organ transplantation. ATG reduces the host immune response against tissue transplants or organ allografts.

CONT

Immunosuppressive therapy with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) plus cyclosporine is an effective alternative to stem-cell transplantation and improves blood counts and survival. Although horse ATG is the standard therapy, rabbit ATG is more potent in depleting peripheral-blood lymphocytes and is preferred in other clinical circumstances.

Record 8 2011-01-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
DEF

An antibody directed against lymphocyte surface antigens. Such antibodies are produced by immunization of experimental animals with heterologous lymphocytes and are used ... for example in organ transplantation.

Key term(s)
  • anti-lymphocyte globulin

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
DEF

Immunoglobuline (anticorps) d'origine animale (lapin, chèvre ou cheval) générée en réponse à l'immunisation (de l'animal en question) par des lymphocytes humains.

OBS

La globuline anti-lymphocytaire (ou sérum anti-lymphocytaire ou anti-thymocyte) est [...] utilisée, en association avec la cortisone et la cyclosporine-A, comme traitement de première instance dans les aplasies médullaires. [...] Lorsqu'injecté chez l'homme, ce sérum (ou globuline) peut détruire les lymphocytes auto-réactifs responsables de l'aplasie et ainsi contribuer à la correction de la maladie.
