IVIG is derived from which source?

IVIG is derived from which source?

• A. Recombinant antibodies
• B. Pooled plasma
• C. Synthetic antibodies
• D. Bacterial produced antibodies

Answer: (B)

IVIG is derived from pooled human plasma from many donors. The manufacturing process collects plasma from thousands of healthy individuals, combines it, and purifies the immunoglobulin G fraction to create a broad, polyclonal mix of antibodies. This donor-derived IgG provides a wide range of antibody specificities and can modulate immune responses. It is not produced recombinantly, synthetically, or in bacterial systems, which would yield lab-made antibodies rather than the diverse human IgG from pooled plasma.
