Stressful life events are associated with low secretion rates of immunoglobulin A in saliva in the middle aged and elderly [PDF]
Whether chronic stress experience is related to down-regulation of secretory immunoglobulin A (S-IgA) was tested in two substantial cohorts, one middle-aged (N = 640) and one elderly (N = 582), comprising similar numbers of men (N = 556) and women (N ...

Concurrent Drug-Induced Linear Immunoglobulin A Dermatosis and Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy [PDF]
Diseases associated with immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody include linear IgA dermatosis, IgA nephropathy, Celiac disease, Henoch-Schönlein purpura, etc. Although usually idiopathic, IgA antibody is occasionally induced by drugs (e.g., vancomycin, carbamazepine, ceftriaxone, and cyclosporine), malignancies, infections, and other causes.

The structures of secretory and dimeric immunoglobulin A [PDF]
Secretory (S) Immunoglobulin (Ig) A is the predominant mucosal antibody, which binds pathogens and commensal microbes. SIgA is a polymeric antibody, typically containing two copies of IgA that assemble with one joining-chain (JC) to form dimeric (d) IgA ...
