Immunoglobulin M. Immunoglobulin M ( IgM) is the largest of several isotypes of antibodies (also known as immunoglobulin) that are produced by vertebrates. IgM is the first antibody to appear in the response to initial exposure to an antigen; [ 1][ 2] causing it to also be called an acute phase antibody. In humans and other mammals that have ...
Hematology. Isolated primary immunoglobulin M deficiency [1] is a poorly defined dysgammaglobulinemia characterized by decreased levels of IgM while levels of other immunoglobulins are normal. The immunodeficiency has been associated with some clinical disorders including recurrent infections, atopy, Bloom's syndrome, celiac disease, systemic ...
Hyper IgM syndrome is a rare primary immune deficiency disorders characterized by low or absent levels of serum IgG, IgA, IgE and normal or increased levels of serum IgM. [ 8] They are resulting from mutations in the pathway from B-cell activation to isotype class switching. Patients with HIGM are usually diagnosed within the first two years of ...
The Initiative on Global Markets ( IGM) is a research center [1] at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business in the United States. The initiative supports original research on international business, financial markets, and public policy. [2] [3] The IGM is most famous for the weekly polls it conducts of its Economics Experts Panels ...
Immunoglobulin class switching, also known as isotype switching, isotypic commutation or class-switch recombination ( CSR ), is a biological mechanism that changes a B cell 's production of immunoglobulin from one type to another, such as from the isotype IgM to the isotype IgG. [ 1] During this process, the constant-region portion of the ...
Anti-IgM [M15/8] This is a recombinant monoclonal antibody to IgM. The anti-antibody functions in early detection of antigens in serum rather than interstitial fluids. [13] Anti-IgM [B481] This is a recombinant monoclonal antibody to IgM. It is recommended to use anti-IgM [B481] as a secondary antibody against IgM primary antibodies. [14]
Immunoglobulin G. The water-accessible surface area of an IgG antibody. Immunoglobulin G ( IgG) is a type of antibody. Representing approximately 75% of serum antibodies in humans, IgG is the most common type of antibody found in blood circulation. [ 1] IgG molecules are created and released by plasma B cells.
Selective immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency ( SIgAD[ 1]) is a kind of immunodeficiency, a type of hypogammaglobulinemia. People with this deficiency lack immunoglobulin A (IgA), a type of antibody that protects against infections of the mucous membranes lining the mouth, airways, and digestive tract. It is defined as an undetectable serum IgA ...
