To determine the impact of therapeutic infusion of IV immunoglobulin (IVIg) on John Cunningham virus antibody (JCV Ab) serostatus and level in serum.
We carried out a retrospective analysis of serum levels of JCV Ab among STRATIFY-2 trial enrollees from 2 multiple sclerosis centers who were exposed to IVIg during the trial. For the subset of eligible patients, we estimated mean linear trends while on IVIg and after stopping IVIg with a linear mixed-effects model.
The JCV Ab seropositivity rate in the group of patients that was recently exposed to IVIg was 100%, which is significantly higher than in the IVIg-naive population (58%, p < 0.001). The seropositivity rate in the patient group with remote IVIg exposure was similar to that in the IVIg-naive population (67%, p = 0.68, Fisher exact test). The slope of the linear trend line after stopping IVIg decreased significantly by -0.310 units per 100 days (95% confidence interval, -0.611 to -0.008; p = 0.04).
Recent IVIg exposure is invariably associated with JCV Ab seropositivity. After stopping IVIg, JCV Ab levels tend to decrease with time, and seroreversion to innately Ab-negative status can occur.
确定静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIg)治疗输注对血清中约翰·坎宁安病毒抗体(JCV Ab)血清状态和水平的影响。
我们对来自 2 个多发性硬化症中心的 STRATIFY-2 试验入组者在试验期间接受 IVIg 治疗时的 JCV Ab 血清水平进行了回顾性分析。对于符合条件的患者亚组,我们使用线性混合效应模型估计了在接受 IVIg 治疗期间和停止 IVIg 治疗后的平均线性趋势。
最近接受 IVIg 治疗的患者组的 JCV Ab 血清阳性率为 100%,明显高于 IVIg 未暴露人群(58%,p<0.001)。有远程 IVIg 暴露史的患者组的血清阳性率与 IVIg 未暴露人群相似(67%,p=0.68,Fisher 确切检验)。停止 IVIg 后,线性趋势线的斜率显著下降了-0.310 个单位/100 天(95%置信区间,-0.611 至-0.008;p=0.04)。
最近接受 IVIg 治疗与 JCV Ab 血清阳性率总是相关的。停止 IVIg 治疗后,JCV Ab 水平随时间趋于下降,并且可能会出现抗体自然阴性的血清逆转。
