What Does ATG Stand For?
ATG stands for Antithymocyte Globulin
Antithymocyte Globulin (ATG) is a polyclonal antibody treatment derived from rabbit or horse serum, utilized primarily to reduce transplant rejection and treat conditions such as aplastic anemia and hematologic malignancies. It works by targeting and depleting T-lymphocytes, thereby modulating the immune response and promoting graft acceptance. ATG is administered intravenously and is often used in conjunction with other immunosuppressive therapies.
