equine immunoglobulin

Equine immunoglobulins are antibodies derived from horses used in medical treatments to help fight specific infections or provide immunity. Horses are immunized with a pathogen or toxin, prompting their immune systems to produce these antibodies. The antibodies are then collected from the horse’s blood, purified, and prepared into medicines like antitoxins or antivenoms. This process leverages the horse’s strong immune response to produce large quantities of targeted antibodies, which can be administered to humans or animals needing rapid protection against certain diseases or toxins.
