IgA antibody is secretory antibody and is present abundantly in mucous linings of gastrointestinal, respiratory and genitourinary tracts, tears and saliva. Thus secretory IgA contributes to the humoral defense mechanism against the pathogens on mucosal surfaces Anti-Mouse IgA (α-chain specific) is specific for α chain of mouse IgA.
Immunogen
Purified mouse IgA (myeloma protein)
Application
Anti-Mouse IgA (α-chain specific) is suitable for Ouchterlony Double Diffusion. The antibody was used to detect antigens to Helicobacter hepaticus in mice serum using a concentration of 5 μg/ml.
Physical form
Lyophilized from 0.01 M sodium phosphate, 0.015 M sodium chloride, pH 7.2
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with 0.135 M sodium chloride.

To model inflammatory bowel disease, we assessed infection with Helicobacter hepaticus 3B1 (ATCC 51449) and a potential probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri (ATCC PTA-6475) in gnotobiotic B6.129P2-IL-10(tm1Cgn) (IL-10(-/-) ) mice. No typhlocolitis developed in germ-free controls (n=21) or in L. reuteri (n=8)
There is currently great interest in developing mucosal vaccines against a variety of microbial pathogens. Mucosally induced tolerance also seems to be a promising form of immunomodulation for treating certain autoimmune diseases and allergies. Here we review the properties of
