The half-life of gamma globulin varies depending on the type and specific formulation used, but it typically ranges from 21 to 28 days.
Gamma Globulin
Gamma globulin, a component of blood plasma, primarily functions as an antibody that plays a crucial role in the immune response. It helps identify and neutralize pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, thereby providing protection against infections. Additionally, gamma globulin can also be administered as a treatment for certain immune deficiencies and autoimmune diseases.
Passive immunity. Active immunity is when antibody is produced after being infected by a disease.
In the 1960's when immunoglobulin nomenclture was finally decided, names were given based on their respective features. Hence lgG stands for gamma-globulin (gamma region of mobility), lgA for alpha-globulin (no immunoglobulin fraction was found in the alpha region) and lgM for macro-globulin (is a protein macroglobulin and is the largest globulin/antibody in the human body).
It sold under the trade names Gamimune or Gammagard
Gamma globulin is a huge injection with a long, thick needle deep in the buttock muscle that can take several minutes to administer, consequently it hurts when getting it but it doesn't produce much tenderness later.
