Immunotherapy with either antithymocyte globulin (ATG) or antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) is the primary treatment for those children not candidates for bone marrow transplant.
In some situations, varicella-zoster immune globulin or VZIG which are anti-varicella antibodies can be given to treat immunocompromised or pregnant individuals.
Glucocorticoids are not soluble in water, so most cortisol in the blood is bound to a special carrier protein, called cortisol-binding globulin, and only about 5% is unbound or free.
Others run defense for you, like the gamma globulin antibodies that are released by plasma cells during an immune response, or fibrinogen proteins, which are vital to forming blood clots and stopping bleeding.
Plasma is the liquid part of the blood and consists of water, dissolved proteins, sugar, salts, hormones, and other substances. The four major plasma proteins are albumin, globulin, fibrinogen, and prothrombin.
Most of these proteins — like albumin, and alpha and beta globulins — are made by the liver, and do things like balance the osmotic pressure between the blood and surrounding tissues, and transport lipids and ions.
Getting it in a way that you can re-infuse it in somebody else or getting out the proteins, the Gama globulin, the antibodies from that serum and using it as a way of both treatment and possibly prophylaxis but mostly treatment.
