General description

Bovine IgMs are glycoprotein antibodies that regulate antigen binding during immunological responses. These antibodies have three isotypes, namely, IgMa, IgMb and IgMc. Structural restraints on movement enhance the complement-fixing functions of bovine IgMs . Monoclonal Anti-Bovine IgM antibody detects an epitope on the heavy chain of bovine IgM. The antibody reacts with bovine serum, but does not react with sera from human, baboon, marmoset, gibbon, rhesus, hamster, rabbit, goat, pig, dog, rat, turkey, chicken, or catfish. Furthermore, the product does not bind to native or reduced bovine light chains.
Monoclonal Anti-Bovine IgM (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. IgM is highly conserved antibody in vertebrates and is expressed early during immune response. It exists as pentamer and is secreted by peritoneal B cells.

Purified bovine IgM

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Bovine IgM antibody is suitable for use in indirect ELISA (1:1,000), western blot, immunoprecipitation and ELISA.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IgM plays a key role in engulfing of the of apoptotic cells. A reduction in serum IgM levels leads to increased autoimmune response and higher risk for infections. IgM displays polyreactive and autoreactive functionality. It plays a key role in tissue homeostasis by mediating clearance of tissue based molecules.

IgA is the predominant Ig isotype in mucosal secretions and thus plays a pivotal role in host defense. The mechanisms by which IgA expression is regulated may differ among species and involve multiple pathways. Various cytokines and costimulators have been

It is accepted that cell-mediated immune responses predominate in mycobacterial infections. Many studies have shown that CD4(+) T cells produce Th1 cytokines, such as gamma interferon (IFN-gamma), in response to mycobacterial antigens and that the cytolytic activity of CD8(+) cells

Naturally occurring antibody repertoires of cattle (Bos taurus) include a group of IgMlambda antibodies with exceptionally long complementarity-determining region 3 of the heavy chain (CDR3H) segments, containing multiple Cys residues. These massive CDR3H segments will greatly influence the tertiary and

The structure of IgM determined from two cDNAs isolated from a Holstein (BLV7G1) and an Angus x Hereford cross-bred (B5D8) cow reveals high sequence similarity both at nucleotide (98.7%) and amino acid (97.9%) level and is closest to sheep (89.4%).
