IGM KAPPA FROM MURINE MYELOMA (C005B-326090)

General description

IgM antibodies are present as pentamers in the serum and are produced in response to antigens.IgM is a highly conserved antibody in vertebrates and is expressed early during immune response.

Specificity

IgM, Kappa immunoglobulin is (mouse IgM isotype) is derived from the TEPC 183-SY hybridoma, produced by the fusion of mouse NS1 myeloma and TEPC 183 mouse tumor line. TEPC 183 tumor line that produces mouse IgM, Kappa, is pristane-induced plasmacytoma.

Application

Identity and purity of the immunoglobulin is established by HPLC.

Biochem/physiol Actions

IgM plays a key role in the 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. IgM has sites for N-linked glycosylation, with sugars namely, mannose, galactose, N-acetyl glucosamine and sialic acid.

Physical form
