Anti Rat IgM Mab Mouse

Product: Anti Rat IgM Monoclonal Antibody

Catalog No.: 111822

Description: Immunoglobulin M, or IgM for short, is a basic antibody that is produced by B cells. It is the first antibody to appear in response to initial exposure to an antigen. IgM is primarily found in serum; however, because of the J chain, it is also important as a secretory immunoglobulin. Due to its polymeric nature, IgM possesses high avidity, and is particularly effective at complement activation. By itself, IgM is an ineffective opsonin; however, it contributes greatly to opsonization by activating complement and causing C3b to bind to the antigen.
