General description

Human IgMs are the initial immunoglobulin isotypes that appear in blood in response to the first exposure to external antigens. IgMs have been implicated in CNS myelin repair and increased secretory IgM levels have been linked to rhino-conjunctivitis . Anti-Human IgM (μ-chain specific)-Biotin antibody is specific for human IgM and does not bind other human immunoglobulins.
IgM antibody is produced by B cells and plays a pivotal role in primary defence mechanism. The main function is to recognise and eliminate foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses, cellular waste as well as precancerous and cancerous lesions. Anti-human IgM (μ-chain specific) −biotin antibody can be used in micro ELISA to determine IgD isotype antibody to phosphorylcholine (PC) . Goat anti-human IgM antibodies react specifically with human IgM but not with other human immunoglobulins.

We examined the role of BCR cell membrane redistribution in anti-IgM-induced apoptosis in three human B cell lines, RA#1, 2G6, and MC116, that differ in their relative levels of sIgM expression. The apoptotic response was found to be dependent on

Follicular helper T cells (TFHs) are a key component of adaptive immune responses as they help antibody production by B cells. Differentiation and function of TFH cells are controlled by the master gene BCL6, but it is largely unclear how

Plasmablasts represent a specialized class of antibody-secreting effector B cells that transiently appear in blood circulation following infection or vaccination. The expansion of these cells generally tends to be massive in patients with systemic infections such as dengue or Ebola
