== Composition and Function ==
Gamma globulin is predominantly made up of [[immunoglobulins]], which are antibodies that play a crucial role in the immune response. These antibodies are derived from the plasma portion of blood and provide passive immunity against a wide range of infections.

== Medical Uses ==
Gamma globulin is used in several medical contexts:
* [[Immunodeficiency]] diseases: To provide necessary antibodies to individuals who are unable to produce enough of their own.
* [[Vaccination]]: In the form of immune globulin shots, to provide immediate protection against certain diseases.
* [[Infection]] prevention: In individuals who have been exposed to certain infectious diseases.

== Administration ==

Gamma globulin can be administered in different forms, depending on its use:
* Intramuscular injections for immediate protection against specific infections.
* Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) for conditions like immunodeficiency and autoimmune diseases.
