title: [Properties of and information about a new preparation of immunoglobulins (IgGAM) enriched in IgA and IgM].
abstract: A new immunoglobulin preparation, called IgGAM, has been obtained from fraction III. Fraction III obtained during large scale fractionation is used as starting material and caprylic acid for the precipitation of most proteins other than the immunoglobulins present in fraction III; the immunoglobulin concentrate is finally obtained by ethanol precipitation of the supernatant. The IgGAM preparation contains IgG,IgA and IgM in various proportions according to the modifications of the initial technique, and we can obtain fractions more specially enriched in IgA or in IgM. The clinical results obtained with IgGAM preparation are summarized; different types of antibody deficiency syndromes have been successfully treated. It can be injected once à week IM, at a dose of 0.5 ml/kg. No side effects, nor appearance of anti IgA antibodies have been observed.
