Актуальность. Заместительная терапия иммуноглобулинами человека является ведущим патогенетическим методом лечения первичных иммунодефицитов с нарушением синтеза антител. В настоящее время в России доступно несколько препаратов иммуноглобулинов человека нормальных для внутривенного введения. Цель. Оценить эффективность и безопасность препарата Привиджен (10 раствор иммуноглобулина для внутривенного введения) в реальной клинической практике в течение 12 клинических месяцев. Материалы и методы. 20 взрослых с диагнозом общая вариабельная иммунная недостаточности и Х-сцепленная агаммаглобулинемия получали внутривенный иммуноглобулин Привиджен к интервалом 243 дня в течение 12 мес. Первичными критериями оценки была частота инфекционных осложнений и нежелательных явлений. Результаты. У большинства пациентов в ходе исследования достигнут удовлетворительный претранс-фузионный уровень IgG. Тяжелых нежелательных явлений, связанных с введением препарата, не зарегистрировано. Заключение. В ходе исследования препарат продемонстрировал высокую эффективность и безопасность у пациентов, нуждающихся в ежемесячной заместительной терапииRelevance. Replacement therapy with human immunoglobulins is the leading pathogenetic method of treatment of primary immunodeficiency with impaired antibody synthesis. Currently, several preparations of human immunoglobulins for intravenous administration are available in Russia. Purposes. Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of Privigen immunoglobulin intravenous 10 liquid in real clinical practice within 12 clinical months. Methods. Twenty adults diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency or X-linked agammaglobulinemia received intravenous Privigen infusions (0.2-0.4 mg/kg) at 243 intervals over a 12-month period. The primary endpoint was the annual rate of infections and adverse events. Results. Sufficient level of IgG was achieved in most patients during the study. Severe adverse reactions during the treatment were not registered. Conclusions. High efficacy and safety of monthly replacement therapy in patients with primary immunodeficiency with impaired antibody synthesis has been demonstrated.

Mice of the inbred strains, C57BL/6 and C57BL/10 (H-2b), are genetically incapable of developing IgE antibody responses to ragweed pollen extract (RE) or its dinitrophenylated derivative, DNP-RE. This nonresponsiveness has previously been thought to reflect the absence of a relevant H-2-linked Ir genes controlling responses of inbred mice to these antigens. However, pretreatment of H-2b mice with either low doses of ionizing X irradiation or cyclophosphamide abrogates the nonresponder status of such animals, apparently by removal of a suppressive mechanism normally inhibiting development of IgE responses to these antigens. The implications of these findings for mechanisms of genetic control of IgE antibody synthesis and the Ir-gene concept are discussed.

SUMMARYEight hundred and seventy-seven sera from 360 adults aged 18–50 who were under permanent observation from October 1980 to March 1981 have been studied by haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) and erythrocyte elution-inhibition (EI) tests – a simplified method of antineuraminidase antibody titration. It was demonstrated in some subjects infected with influenza A H1N1 and H3N2 viruses that the antibody rise was to one of the surface antigens only – haemagglutinin or neuraminidase. These subjects made up 5·2–25·8% of all examinees. The protective effect of antibodies to neuraminidase was similar to that of antihaemagglutinins. Interaction of both types of antibodies was observed in protection against the disease. Data have been obtained on the influence of antineuraminidase antibodies in decreasing the severity of natural infection with influenza A.A study of heterologous immunologic responses to haemagglutinin and neuraminidase among persons immunized with live influenza A H1N1 and H3N2 vaccines and among children naturally infected with influenza A H3N2 demonstrated the presence of immunologic memory for antineuraminidase antibody synthesis. Thus, the suggestion of a common antigenic structure for neuraminidase Nl and N2 is made.
