Non disponible en dehors du Royaume-Uni et de l'Irlande

Application

Purified bovine IgM may be used as a reference antigen, standard, blocking agent, or coating protein in a variety of immunoassays including ELISA, dot immunobinding, Western immunoblotting, immunodiffusion, and immunoelectrophoresis. Other applications include starting materials for the preparation of immunogens and solid phase immunoadsorbents.

IgM from bovine serum has been used for screening the lipopolysaccharide levels in Limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) assay. IgM has been used in flow cytometry assay for detecting FcγRIV expression and immunoglobulin binding.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IgM plays a key role in engulfing of apoptotic cells. A reduction in serum IgM levels leads to increased autoimmune response and higher risk for infections. IgM displays polyreactive and autoreactive functionality. It plays a key role in tissue homeostasis by mediating clearance of tissue based molecules.
