Immunoadsorption in systemic connective tissue diseases and primary vasculitis.

M Schneider, M Gaubitz, A Perniok

    Therapeutic Apheresis : Official Journal of the International Society for Apheresis and the Japanese Society for Apheresis
    |May 1, 1997
    PubMed
    Summary

    Immunoadsorption, an alternative to plasmapheresis, effectively removes harmful substances like IgG and immune complexes. While promising for autoimmune diseases and transplantation, further randomized trials are needed to confirm its benefits.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Nephrology
    • Rheumatology

    Background:

    • Immunoadsorption offers advantages over plasmapheresis, notably avoiding substitution fluids.
    • It is used for collagen vascular disorders, similar to plasma exchange, employing adsorbers targeting IgG and circulating immune complexes.

    Discussion:

    • Tested ligands include protein A, anti-IgG antibodies, Clq, phenylalanine, and tryptophan.
    • Human IgG adsorbs rheumatoid factor, while other ligands target DNA and anti-DNA antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
    • Applications include pre-transplantation treatment and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).

    Key Insights:

    • Controlled trials for SLE showed excellent biocompatibility and clinical responses with IMPH-350 and Ig-Therasorb.
    • Protein A immunoadsorption demonstrated renal involvement inactivation in primary systemic vasculitis, alongside immunosuppressive therapy.

    Outlook:

    • Randomized trials are essential to validate immunoadsorption's therapeutic potential.
    • Further research is needed for systemic connective tissue diseases and other indications.
