Human IgM antibodies are glycoproteins that are mainly produced by the B-1 cells and regulate the physiology and growth of the human B cell reserve. Circulating monoclonal IgM antibody that binds to myelin-associated glycoprotein has been linked to the demyelination of peripheral nerves in humans . Anti-human IgM μ-chain specific−peroxidase antibody is specific for human IgM when tested against human IgA, IgG, IgM, Bence Jones κ and Lambda myeloma proteins.
There are five immunoglobulin classes in humans. Out of these, immunoglobulin M (IgM) is a high molecular weight protein that has five to six subunits. IgM monomers are made of two heavy chains and two light chains connected by a disulfide bond. Human serum shows low concentration of IgM monomers. It has a high carbohydrate content of about 12%. It is the first immunoglobulin produced by neonates.

애플리케이션
Anti-Human IgM (μ-chain specific)-Peroxidase antibody has been used in direct binding assays to detect antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL).
Anti-human IgM (μ-chain specific)-Peroxidase antibody is suitable for use in direct ELISA (1:10,000 and 1:5000). It has also been used in indirect ELISA (1:2000). The concentration of IgM in supernatant samples was determined by ELISA using HRP-conjugated goat anti-human chain specific IgG as the secondary antibody. The antibody has also been used in Western blotting.
생화학적/생리학적 작용
Immunoglobulin M (IgM) acts as an antigen specific part of the B cell antigen receptor on the surface of B lymphocytes that are not stimulated, in its monomeric form. Polymeric IgM molecules also serve as important activators of the classical complement cascade. IgM is essential in agglutination and cytolytic reactions.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) activation by 2, 3, 7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is well established at suppressing humoral immunity. Previous studies in mouse B cells revealed that decreased IgM production was due to a significant suppression in the mRNA levels of
Bacterial infection is frequently observed in patients with alcoholic liver disease (ALD). We examined a possible role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in the development/progression and severity of disease in patients with acute alcoholic hepatitis (AAH). Plasma specimens from 47 patients with

Blood transfusion = Trasfusione del sangue, 16(1), 17-25 (2016-11-29)
Transfusion-transmitted malaria due to asymptomatic Plasmodium infections is a challenge for blood banks. There is a lack of data on the prevalence of asymptomatic infected blood donors and the incidence of transfusion-transmitted malaria in low endemicity areas worldwide. We estimated
