The Process: New Methods of Purification and Viral Safety 2013-01-16 .txt text/plain 2212 132 47 From the transmission of hepatitis C virus by gammaglobulins in 1994 to the emergence of new viruses and concern over prions, intravenous immunoglobulin (IGIV) manufacturers have continued to address safety issues and respond to changing needs. Because the different techniques can affect the biologic function of the IgG molecule, the methods of viral inactivation may account for some of the differences among IGIV products in terms of side effects and efficacy (Table 1) . Because intravenous immunoglobulins are derived from human plasma, they are potentially susceptible to contamination by a variety of blood-borne pathogens; consequently, patients receiving and clinicians administering IGIV are concerned about disease transmission. From the transmission of HCV by gammaglobulins in 1994 to the emergence of new viruses or concern over prions, IGIV manufacturers have continued to address safety issues and respond to changing needs. ./cache/cord-323333-keshu99t.txt ./txt/cord-323333-keshu99t.txt
