ABSTRACTThis article presents a rationale for the hypothesis that an autoimmune mechanism might be involved in the pathogenesis of some forms of obsessive-compulsive aborder (OCO). Existing clinical studies suggesting that some individuals with OCD may have an autoimmune-mediated disorder are briefly summarized. A case example where intravenous immunoglobulin G has been successfully used to treat an adult with OCD spectrum disorder is presented. Preclinical data demonstrating that fragments from the group Αβ hemolytic streptococcus cell wall M proteins can generate antibodies that bind to rat and human tissue are also presented.

Intravenous Immunoglobulin G

Abstract Intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIG) is used to treat idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Although many patients benefit from IVIG, some are refractory to this therapy. ITP is characterized by platelet clearance mediated primarily by antiplatelet antibodies against GPIIbIIIa and/or the GPIbα complex. These 2 groups of antibodies may induce ITP through different mechanisms. We tested the hypothesis that IVIG may not be equally effective in preventing ITP caused by anti-GPIIbIIIa versus anti-GPIbα antibodies in mice. Thrombocytopenia was induced in BALB/c mice using monoclonal antibodies against either mouse GPIIbIIIa (JON1, JON2, and JON3) or GPIbα (p0p3, p0p4, p0p5, p0p9, and p0p11). Pretreatment with IVIG significantly ameliorated ITP in all anti-GPIIbIIIa–injected animals. Conversely, IVIG failed to prevent ITP in all anti-GPIbα–treated mice, except for p0p4. These results were repeated in C57BL/6 mice, and with different IVIG preparations. These data in mice suggest that patients with ITP mediated by anti-GPIbα antibodies may be less responsive to IVIG treatment.
