The 5th Intercontinental Cooperative ITP Study Group (ICIS) expert meeting in Fl üeli-Ranft, Switzerland, September 24-26, 2015 was dedicated to immunomodulation in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and other autoimmune disorders. In particular we asked the question “How may biological immunomodulators influence the immune system?“ Wahn, Crow and Lazarus, Heitink et al, and van Laarhoven et al focused on the first such human derived immunomodulator, polyvalent immunoglobulin concentrate (IVIG), and Yacobovich et al on anti-D immunoglobulins.
