Abstract
When the human body is invaded by foreign organisms it defends itself either through the propagation of a cellular response (cell-mediated immunity) or by the production of soluble proteins. This production of soluble proteins is known as humoral immunity, so-called because it refers to substances found within the humours, or body fluids. While there are a number of components that have been identified as important in the humoral immune response, including complement proteins [1], the key molecules necessary for mediating specific humoral immunity are immunoglobulins (Ig), also known as antibodies (Ab) (see also chapter A3).KeywordsKawasaki DiseaseIVIG TreatmentMultifocal Motor NeuropathyChronic Inflammatory Demyelinating PolyradiculoneuropathyPrimary Immune DeficiencyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
