【Objective】 To develop methods to display the IgG autoantibody repertoire of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) products, analyze the different types of antibodies and study the diversity of IgG autoantibody in 4 IVIG preparations from different Chinese manufacturers. 【Methods】 Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting with human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proteins were used to demonstrate the IgG autoantibody repertoire and the human protein microarray with bioinformatics analysis was employed to profile the immune reactive autoantigens of the 4 IVIG preparations. 【Results】 The methods to showcase the autoantibody repertoire and study the antibody diversity of IVIG were successfully established. High-quality repertoires of IVIG autoantibodies and biological information about self-proteins that can be recognized were obtained. There was a significant difference in the recognition of the quantity and variety of the self-antigens by different IVIG products. The number of antibodies against HUVEC proteins in four products ranged from 241-386. The number of proteins recognized on the human protein chip ranged from 292-435, with 172 human self-proteins recognized by all four products. 【Conclusion】 Demonstration of antibody repertoire and protein chip technology can be used to analyze IVIG products′ IgG autoantibody repertoire. All four preparations tested in this study exhibited a broad spectrum of antibodies against HUVEC proteins and human proteome microarray, each product had its unique antibody repertoire characteristics.

【Objective】 Tostudy the effect of sex-differentiated human IgG samples on Dendritic cells (DC) secretion of inflammation-related factors and explore the effect of residual sex hormones in IgG products (such as IVIg) on the secretion of IL-6 by DC. 【Methods】 According to the standard IVIg production process, the company was entrustedto prepare sex-differentiated plasma purified IgG samples, and two sex-differentiated IgG samples with different sex ratios (male to female ratio1: 0, 0: 1) were obtained. The samples and referenceswere treated with human DC (induced by THP-1 cells) respectively. After 24 h of culture, the chemokines (CCL2, CCL3, CCL4), adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, IFN-) in the cell supernatant were detected, The effects of different samples on the secretion of inflammation-related factors by DC were compared. The effect of sex hormone residues on the anti-inflammatory ability of IgG products was preliminarily explored uing sex hormones and sex hormone receptor blockers. 【Results】 The samples in each group significantly inhibitedthe secretion of chemokines (CCL2, CCL3, CCL4) and the adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) by mature DC (compared with the PBS group, P<0.05), but significantly promoted the secretion of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1a/b, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70), compared with the PBS group(P<0.05). The results of sex hormone residues showed that therewere residues of estradiol (E2) and testosterone (TSTO) in sex-differentiated IgG samples and IVIg products. The experimental results of IVIg and sex hormone/sex hormone receptor blockers showed that residual E2 may promote the secretion of IL-6 by DC, which may be achieved through the E2 receptor ERb. 【Conclusion】 There are differences in the effect of IgG samples prepared from combined plasma with different sex ratios on the secretion of cytokines by DC, which may be related to the residual E2 in the products. The residual sex hormones in IVIg may promote the production and secretion of IL-6 through the sex hormone receptor ERb expressed in DC, and TSTO may have a collaboration effect to enhance the secretion-promoting effect of IL-6 by E2. This study provides a theoretical basis for whether sex hormone residues need to be considered in the quality control indicators of IVIg products.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of immunoglobulin G (IgG) dimer concentration of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) on the binding ability of IgG Fc fragment to THP-1 cell surface receptors. 【Methods】 Firstly, protein purification and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were used to prepare different concentrations of IgG dimers. After that, IgG dimer was added to IVIG to prepare IVIG containing different concentrations of IgG dimer. Finally, based on the method established in our laboratory, we analyzed the effect of IgG dimer concentration in IVIG on the binding ability of IgG Fc fragment to THP-1 cell surface receptors. 【Results】 When the concentration of IgG dimer in IVIG was 1.11%-10.30%, its binding ability to Fc receptors on the surface of THP-1 cell was 97.67%-135.33%, and this binding ability was positively correlated with the concentration of IgG dimer. When the IgG dimer concentration exceeded 13.22%, the binding ability had no correlation with the IgG dimer concentration. 【Conclusion】 A certain concentration of IgG dimer can promote the binding ability of the IgG Fc fragment in IVIG to receptors on the surface of THP-1 cells, which needs further verification from animal experiments and clinical data.
