Antiserum is one such term. Another term is hyperimmune serum which indicates that the serum has a higher-than-normal level of a particular antibody. If the serum is used to protect against a disease, it is called prophylactic serum, if serum is used in therapy of an established disease, it is, called therapeutic serum. A common term is gamma globulin. Gamma globulin usually consists of a pool of sera from human donors, which should contain a mixture of antibodies including those for the disease to be treated.
