General description

Secondary antibody specific for Human Immunoglobulin M
Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is a highly conserved antibody in vertebrates and is expressed early during development of immune system. It is present as a pentamer in the serum and is secreted by peritoneal B cells.

Specificity

Specific for Human IgM. No cross reactivity with human IgA, IgD, IgE or IgG.

Immunogen

corresponding to Human Human Serum IgM.

Application

Detect Human Serum IgM using this mouse monoclonal, Cat. No. MABX1911-10KC, validated for use in and ELISA and Lateral Flow Assay.
None
Research Category
Secondary & Control Antibodies

Biochem/physiol Actions

Immunoglobulin M (IgM) plays a key role in engulfing the apoptotic cells. The reduction in serum IgM levels leads to increased autoimmune response and a higher risk of infections. IgM exhibits polyreactive and autoreactive functionality. A defect in IgM production is observed in X-linked agammaglobulinemia.

Quality

Antibodies are a vital part of the armamentarium of the adaptive immune system for the fine-tuning of the recognition and response to foreign threats. However, in health there are some types of antibodies that instead recognize self-antigens and these contribute
Harry W Schroeder et al.

Immunoglobulins are heterodimeric proteins composed of 2 heavy and 2 light chains. They can be separated functionally into variable domains that bind antigens and constant domains that specify effector functions, such as activation of complement or binding to Fc receptors.
