IMMUNOBIOLOGY

Therapeutic efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin preparations depends on the immunoglobulin G dimers: studies in experimental immune thrombocytopenia

From the Central Laboratory of the Netherlands Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service, the Laboratory of Experimental and Clinical Immunology, and the Department of Pediatrics, Academical Medical Center, University of Amsterdam; the Department of Clinical Chemistry, Academical Hospital VU, Amsterdam; and the Department of Immunology and Genmab, University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands.

The clinical benefit of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) preparations in the treatment of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is supposed to be mediated by blockade of Fcgamma 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 alpha IIbbeta 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-Fcgamma 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 FcRgamma -chain, lacking Fcgamma RI, Fcgamma RIII, and Fcgamma 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 Fcgamma 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.
