Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

IgM, λ from murine myeloma was used as standard in ELISA and as isotype control in immunohistochemistry applications.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IgM antibodies are produced initially during B-cell development. IgM participates in opsonization and compliment fixation. Defect in IgM production is observed in X-linked agammaglobulinemia.
