IgA antibody
Biotinylated Goat anti Human IgA antibody used for the evaluation of human IgA responses to pneumococcal challenge by ELISA with subsequent detection by alkaline phosphatase conjugated streptavidin (STAR6B) and p-nitrophenyl phosphate.
Image caption:
IgG and IgA responses to whole cell 23F or 6B pneumococci following 23F or 6B challenge, respectively. ELISAs were performed using 23F or 6B pneumococci as targets to measure specific IgG (A, C and E) and IgA (B, D and F) titers in serum (A and B), NW (C and D) and BAL (E and F). Values shown are the mean antibody titers (of triplicates), pre and post 23F (n = 7) or 6B (n = 8) challenge (x-axis). *represents statistical significance between pre- and post-inoculation antibody titers.

Goat anti Human IgA antibody recognizes the heavy chain of human IgA as demonstrated by ELISA and Flow cytometry. IgA is the major catagory of antibody present in mucosal secretions and acts as a first line of defense against inhaled or ingested pathogens at the mucosal interface. IgA is also present in serum where it acts to eliminate pathogens via interaction with FcαR, also known as CD89. (Woof et al. 2004).
Biotinylated Goat anti Human IgA antibody (205008) has been cross-adsorbed against human IgD, IgG and IgM to ensure class specificity.
