Advancing research and clinical care
Whether you’re a clinician, researcher, or an individual with primary immunodeficiency (PI), IDF has resources to help you advance the field. Get details on surveys, grants, and clinical trials.
Immunoglobulin (Ig) replacement therapy
Ig replacement therapy provides antibodies that help prevent infection in those with antibody deficiencies.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)
When primary immunodeficiency is likely to cause significant harm or death, HSCT, more commonly known as a bone marrow transplant (BMT), may be the best treatment option.

Gene therapy
Gene therapy is in clinical trials for several types of PI and offers an alternative to HSCT when a suitable donor is not available.
