General description

IgM antibodies are present as pentamers in the serum and are produced in response to antigens.

Application

Anti-Human IgM (μ-chain specific) antibody produced in goat has been used in enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies are the primary ones to be produced in response to antigen. They bind with low affinity but exhibit a broad specificity to a variety of antigens. IgM constitutes 15% of adult immunoglobulins. IgM is important for fetal and neonatal host defenses for several reasons. IgM molecule efficiently activates classical pathway of complement. Its pentameric structure helps in accomodating multivalent ligand binding. IgM has a prominent role in clearance of invading microorganisms from serum.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide

J Ollila et al.
Genes and immunity, 4(5), 343-350 (2003-07-09)
The development of adaptive immunity and responses to foreign molecules and organisms relies on the highly regulated production of hundreds of proteins. B-cell maturation, from committed progenitors to terminally differentiated plasma cells, is a multistep process that requires the ordered
Johannes U Ammann et al.
Current protocols in protein science, 75, 19-19 (2014-02-11)
Discovery of binding partners for immunoglobulin molecules expressed by cells of the immune system is an important topic of current research. However, many ligand-receptor interactions are of low affinity, and hence detection is refractory to most established protocols. We evaluated

The incidence of community-acquired pneumonia and lower respiratory tract infection rises considerably in later life. Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody levels to pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide are known to decrease with age; however, whether levels of IgM antibody to pneumococcal proteins are
