Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) preparations are increasingly used for the treatment of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases. Naturally occurring autoantibodies against Siglec-9 and Fas are thought to contribute to the anti-inflammatory effects of IVIG via cell death regulation of leukocytes and tissue cells. Dimeric IVIG fractions are suspected to contain idiotypic (Id)-anti-idiotypic complexes of antibodies, which might also include anti-Siglec-9 and anti-Fas autoantibodies.
