Opsonic Antibodies to the Surface M Protein of Group A Streptococci in Pooled Normal Immunoglobulins (IVIG): Potential Impact on the Clinical Efficacy of IVIG Therapy for Severe Invasive Group A Streptococcal Infections

The surface M protein of group A streptococci (GAS) is one of the major virulence factors for this pathogen. Antibodies to the M protein can facilitate opsonophagocytosis by phagocytic cells present in human blood. We investigated whether pooled normal immunoglobulin G (IVIG) contains antibodies tha...
