Product Summary for IgM Antibody (BIG73A)

Immunogen

Bovine immunoglobulins

Clonality

Monoclonal

Host

Mouse

Isotype

IgG1

Description

This monoclonal antibody is made in ascites form using mice. The ascites is collected and centrifuged to remove cells and large particles. The ascitic fluid is purified further by filtration through sequential filters with the last filter at 2 um. The concentration of the monoclonal antibody present in the ascites is determined with commercial radial immunodiffusion kits (1mg/ml).

Background: IgM

IgM normally constitutes about 10% of serum immunoglobulins. IgM antibody is prominent in early immune responses to most antigens and is largely confined to plasma due to its large size. Monomeric IgM is expressed as a membrane bound antibody on the surface of B cells and as a pentamer when secreted by plasma cells. Due to its high valency IgM is more efficient than other isotypes is binding antigens with repeating epitopes (virus particles and red blood cells) and is more efficient than IgG in activiating the complement pathway. The gene for the mu constant region contains four domains separated by short intervening sequences. IgM measurement yields information about the body's immediate resistance and response to infection as well as information related to specific diseases. Decreased levels are associated with immune deficiency states, hereditary deficiencies, and myeloma. Increased levels can be associated with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, chronic infection and hepatocellular disease.
