Mechanism of action: |
Polyclonal anthrax immune globulin is a passive immunizing agent that neutralizes anthrax toxin by binding to Protective Antigen (PA) to prevent PA-mediated cellular entry of anthrax edema factor and lethal factor. It is administered in combination with appropriate antibiotic therapy as the immunoglobulin itself is not known to have direct antibacterial activity against anthrax bacteria, which otherwise may continue to grow and produce anthrax toxins. |
