Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIg) - Common Questions (Fraser Health) [English] Permalink Public
In our blood, we have white blood cells and antibodies. Antibodies are special proteins called immune globulin (Ig).

Immune globulin is often given to people whose bodies cannot make their own antibodies properly. (English) Colour
