MANUFACTURING INTRAVENOUS TOLERABLE IMMUNOGLOBULIN-G PREPARATION

摘要

Method of manufacturing an intravenously tolerable immunoglobulin-G preparation that is free of aggregates, vasoactive substances and proteolytic enzymes and accordingly appropriate for all types of patients, especially immunosuppressed patients, from a starting material that contains immunoglobulin G but from which the coagulation factors have been removed. The starting material is treated with 0.4 to 1.5% by volume of octanoic acid and then chromatographed, especially on an ion or cation exchanger or hydrophobic matrix.
