Product: Anti Sheep IgA Polyclonal Antibody
Catalog No.: 165289
Description: Immunoglobulin A (IgA, also referred to as sIgA) is an antibody that plays critical role in mucosal immunity. IgA has two subclasses (IgA1 and IgA2) and can exist in a dimeric form called secretory IgA (sIgA). In its secretory form, IgA is the main immunoglobulin found in mucous secretions, including tears, saliva, sweat, colostrum and secretions from the genitourinary tract, gastrointestinal tract, prostate and respiratory epithelium. sIgA can also inhibit inflammatory effects of other immunoglobulins. IgA is a poor activator of the complement system, and opsonizes only weakly. Its heavy chains are of the type alpha.
