Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has a therapeutic potential in many autoimmune diseases. Based on its immune modulating and complement inhibiting effects, IVIG has been tested in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but due to osmotic tubular injury caused by immunoglobulin-stabilizing sugar components, lupus nephritis had been accelerated in some patients, thus IVIG use in SLE has been abandoned. The availability of non-sugar-stabilized IVIG raised the possible re-evaluation of IVIG for SLE… 
Deficiency of fibroblast growth factor-inducible 14 (Fn14) preserves the filtration barrier and ameliorates lupus nephritis.
TLDR
Results show that deficiency of the Fn14 receptor significantly improves renal disease in a spontaneous lupus nephritis model through prevention of the direct injurious effects of TWEAK on the filtration barrier and/or modulation of cytokine production by resident kidney cells.
Impact of intravenous immunoglobulin on the dopaminergic system and immune response in the acute MPTP mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
TLDR
The results fail to support a neurorestorative effect of IVIg on the nigrostriatal system in the MPTP-treated mice and suggest a trend toward a detrimental effect of IIG on the dopaminergic system, which underscores the need to proceed with caution before initiating clinical trials of IVG in PD patients.
Evaluating the Murine Anti-Human Antibody Response and Assessment of General Activity and Cognition after Treatment with Human Intravenous Immunoglobulins in Healthy Adult C57/B6J Mice
TLDR
After weekly administration of 400 μg IVIG in C57/B6J mice for the duration of twelve weeks, there was a significant increase of MAHA response against human IgG, but there was no significant change in basic exploratory behavior, anxiety, and cognition.
The immunopathology of cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
Histopathological Evaluation of Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury Rodent Models
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the concentrating ability of the kidney may be responsible for species differences in sensitivity to CI-AKI, and histopathology alone is insufficient and functional parameters and molecular biomarkers are needed to closely monitor CI- AKI in rodent experiments.

Improvement of histological and immunological change in steroid and immunosuppressive drug-resistant lupus nephritis by high-dose intravenous gamma globulin.
TLDR
Clinical and immunological improvements after high-dose IVIG therapy are probably related to the modulation of macrophage-T cell function and enhancement of suppressor T cell function.

Skin disease is prevented but nephritis is accelerated by multiple pregnancies in autoimmune MRL/LPR mice
TLDR
The pathomechanisms of lupus kidney and skin disease may be regulated differently at the organ level during pregnancy, and both IFN-γ and IL-10 may be important regulatory cytokines at the local level.
Use of high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin in systemic lupus erythematosus: report of three cases.
TLDR
Three patients with life-threatening manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus, unresponsive to conventional high-dose corticosteroid and/or immunosuppressive therapy were treated with intravenous polyspecific IgG (IVIG), and a decrease in anti-DNA antibody levels and an increase in total complement hemolytic activity were detected after therapy.
The Effect of Intravenous γ-Globulin on the Induction of Experimental Antiphospholipid Syndrome
TLDR
Mice treated with IVGG had significantly less fetal resorptions when mated, in comparison to untreated mice, and it seems that IVGG may be employed as a good adjunct to any therapy of APLS.
Accelerated autoantibody clearance by intravenous immunoglobulin therapy: studies in experimental models to determine the magnitude and time course of the effect.
TLDR
A single high dose of IVIG induces a relatively small but long-lasting reduction of autoantibody levels by accelerated IgG clearance, which has clinical relevance in the sense that it can fully explain the gradual decrease in autoantIBody levels observed in several patient studies.
Acute Renal Failure and Intravenous Immune Globulin: Occurs with Sucrose-Stabilized, but Not with D-Sorbitol–Stabilized, Formulation
TLDR
ARF secondary to IVIG may be more likely to occur with sucrose-stabilized formulations, and clinicians should consider other nephrotoxic medications, preexisting renal function, age, diabetes mellitus, and rate of infusion.
Modulation of Renal Disease in MRL/lpr Mice Genetically Deficient in the Alternative Complement Pathway Factor B1
TLDR
Factor B plays an important role in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis and vasculitis in MRL/lpr mice; and activation of the alternative pathway, either by the amplification loop or by IgA immune complexes, has a prominent effect on serum C3 levels in this lupus model.
A study of 20 SLE patients with intravenous immunoglobulin clinical and serologic response
TLDR
IVIg has a high response rate among SLE patients and a combination of clinical manifestations, Abs and complement levels may aid in the future in predicting who among Sle patients will benefit more from IVIg treatment.
