The presence of secretory component-free human colostral IgA in early colostrum. 1976

Human secretory IgA was prepared from colostrum. Different elution diagrams from CM-cellulose were obtained depending on the time of collection of colostrum. In case of early colostrum, collected within 6 hours post partum, two IgA fractions were obtained after chromatography on CM-cellulose. Both fractions have different molecular weights and different amino acid compositions. The results obtained suggest that the first fraction is a dimer of IgA monomers containing J chain with a molecular weight of 330,000 whereas the second fraction having the molecular weight 395,000 daltons is composed of IgA dimer, J chain and SC. When colostrum collected 48 or more hours was used as a source of IgA, only the second IgA fraction was obtained. The problem of SC-free IgA immunoglobulins is discussed.

D007070 Immunoglobulin A Represents 15-20% of the human serum immunoglobulins, mostly as the 4-chain polymer in humans or dimer in other mammals. Secretory IgA (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, SECRETORY) is the main immunoglobulin in secretions. IgA,IgA Antibody,IgA1,IgA2,Antibody, IgA
D007071 Immunoglobulin A, Secretory The principle immunoglobulin in exocrine secretions such as milk, respiratory and intestinal mucin, saliva and tears. The complete molecule (around 400 kD) is composed of two four-chain units of IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, one SECRETORY COMPONENT and one J chain (IMMUNOGLOBULIN J-CHAINS). Colostral IgA,IgA, Exocrine,IgA, Secretory,SIgA,Secretory IgA,Secretory Immunoglobulin A,Exocrine IgA,IgA, Colostral
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
