Oral immunoglobulin

Different drugs have different effects in treatment. Before choosing a drug, you need to have a good understanding of the drug so that you know how to use it. So what is oral immunoglobulin? Many people don’t know much about it. Before choosing it, you also need to have a good understanding of all aspects of it so that you can choose it with confidence.

Many people do not know how to choose oral immunoglobulin, which requires a good understanding of immunoglobulin so that they can be assured when choosing it and it will not harm human health.

Oral immunoglobulin:

What is immunoglobulin? Immunoglobulin, abbreviated as Ig. A general term for proteins that have the structure of antibody molecules. Antibodies can be defined based on their ability to specifically bind to an antigen, whereas immunoglobulins can be defined based on the fact that their physicochemical properties are essentially the same as those of known antibodies, even if their antibody activity is unknown. It is mainly found in plasma, but is also found in other body fluids, tissues and some secretions. Most of the immunoglobulins in human plasma are present in gamma globulin (γ-globulin). It can be divided into five categories, namely immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin M (IgM), immunoglobulin D (IgD) and immunoglobulin E (IgE). Among them, IgG is the most important immunoglobulin, accounting for about 70% of human plasma immunoglobulin G, with a molecular weight of about 150,000 and a sugar content of 2-3%. IgG molecules are composed of 4 peptide chains.

Among them, the peptide chain with a molecular weight of 25,000 is called a light chain, and the peptide chain with a molecular weight of 50,000 is called a heavy chain. The light chain and heavy chain are connected by disulfide bonds (—S—S—). Immunoglobulin is produced after the body is stimulated by antigens (such as pathogens). Its main function is to react immune to antigens and generate antigen-antibody complexes, thereby blocking the harm of pathogens to the body and making the pathogens lose their pathogenic effects. On the other hand, immunoglobulins sometimes play a pathogenic role. Clinical allergic symptoms such as bronchospasm caused by pollen, systemic allergic reaction caused by penicillin, skin urticaria (commonly known as urticaria), etc. are all caused by immunoglobulin preparations that can enhance the body's antiviral ability and can be used as medicine. For example, injecting immunoglobulin preparations extracted from human serum or human placenta can prevent and treat infectious diseases such as measles and infectious hepatitis.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of oral immunoglobulin. When choosing it, we need to do it appropriately so that it will not cause any harm to our health. When choosing it, if we encounter something we don’t understand, we can also consult in detail. This is also something we should pay attention to.
