Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) is a purified immunoglobulin from horse, rabbit, sheep, or goat serum after immunization with human thymocytes. The administration of anti-thymocyte globulin results in a depletion of T-cells as a result of complement dependent lysis and opsonization by the macrophage-monocyte system. The depletion of CD4 positive cells is long lasting and results in an inversion of the CD4/CD8 ratio. There are hardly... [Pg.468]

Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG, thymoglobulin) is a polyclonal rabbit antithymocyte globulin that has been used as an immunosuppressive agent in kidney and hver transplant patients. Despite a fairly high safety profile, reported side effects of ATG include hypertension, leucopenia and ARDS [109]. Renal adverse effects are extremely rare only two case reports describe the occurrence of acute renal failure in patients treated with ATG [110, 111]. Cessation of ATG therapy in both cases and plasmapheresis in one case resulted in full recovery. [Pg.693]

Lymphocyte immune-, anti -thymocyte-globulin (Atgam) Horse IgG antibodies which selectively suppress T-lymphocytes (cell-mediated immunity) and humoral immunity. Prevention of organ transplant rejection, aplastic anemia. Fever, chills, leukopenia, throm -bocytopenia, skin reactions. Less often arthralgia, chest or back pain, dyspnea, nausea, vomiting, headache, night sweats (serum sickness). [Pg.138]

Indicated and approved for the management of allograft rejection in renal transplant patients, antithymocyte globulin preparations are purified immune globulins (primarily IgG) from horses or rabbits immunized with human thymus lymphocytes. The resultant globulin preparations contain cytotoxic antibodies to human T lymphocytes which function as an immunosuppressive agent. As well as its use for the treatment of renal transplant rejection, anti-thymocyte globulin may be administered as an adjunct to other immunosuppressive... [Pg.382]
