Human IG is favored due to fewer allergic reactions compared to animal sources. It also offers therapeutic benefits for autoimmune disorders by potentially inhibiting macrophage activity. Ongoing research focuses on developing purified IG from specific donors and monoclonal antibodies for conditions such as anthrax.

These defenses are described as nonspecific because they do not target any specific pathogen; rather, they defend against a wide range of potential pathogens. They are called innate because they are built-in mechanisms of the human organism.
