The clinical benefit of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)
preparations in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
is supposed to be mediated by blockade of Fc receptor-bearing phagocytes. In 2 experimental models for ITP, it is shown that the
therapeutic efficacy of IVIG preparations is related to the IgG dimer
content present in these preparations. A rat monoclonal antibody (mAb;
MWReg30) directed to the murine platelet-specific integrin
IIb 3 (gpIIb/IIIa) was administered
intraperitoneally either as bolus injection or continuous infusion.
With bolus injection, the circulating platelet count dropped to almost
zero within 3 hours. Pretreatment with cobra venom factor did not
affect platelet depletion, whereas pretreatment with anti-Fc RII/III
mAb 2.4G2 or IVIG greatly reduced platelet clearance. With continuous
infusion, platelet numbers reached a steady state after 4 days, at
approximately 25% of control. This reduction in platelets was,
however, not observed in mice deficient for the FcR -chain, lacking
Fc RI, Fc RIII, and Fc RIII / mice. Infusion of a
single dose of IVIG with a high IgG dimer content on the 4th day ie,
mimicking therapeutic administration resulted in a platelet
increase for several days. IVIG predominantly consisting of monomeric
IgG had no effect on platelet numbers. In conclusion, continuous
infusion of MWReg30 induces thrombocytopenia in mice by enhancing Fc
receptor-mediated clearance of platelets. In this model, it is shown
that IgG dimers present in IVIG preparations are responsible for the
increase in platelet counts.
