Abstract
Variations in intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) products are a common feature. In this report, we compared the effect of different IVIg products on IL-17 production by human Th17 cells. We found that irrespective of products, IgGs of all IVIg preparations were equally effective in inhibiting the production of IL-17A from Th17 cells.
