Update on the hyper immunoglobulin M syndromes [PDF]
British Journal of Haematology, 2010The Hyper‐immunoglobulin M syndromes (HIGM) are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders resulting in defects of immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR), with or without defects of somatic hypermutation (SHM).

Immunoglobulin M: An Ancient Antiviral Weapon – Rediscovered [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020Recent discoveries have shed new light onto immunoglobulin M (IgM), an ancient antibody class preserved throughout evolution in all vertebrates. First, IgM – long thought to be a perfect pentamer – was shown to be asymmetric, resembling a quasi-hexamer ...

Functionality of Immunoglobulin G and Immunoglobulin M Antibody Physisorbed on Cellulosic Films [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2017The functionality and aging mechanism of antibodies physisorbed onto cellulosic films was investigated. Blood grouping antibodies immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) were adsorbed onto smooth cellulose acetate (CAF) and regenerated ...

Structural insights into immunoglobulin M
Science, 2020Hefty structures of IgA and IgM complexes Immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgA are antibody isotypes that can form higher-order secretory complexes (sIgM and sIgA), which allows them to effectively bind and neutralize antigens with low-affinity repetitive ...

Immunoglobulin M perception by FcμR
Nature, 2023L'immunoglobuline M (IgM) est le premier anticorps à émerger au cours du développement embryonnaire et de la réponse immunitaire humorale1. Les IgM peuvent exister sous plusieurs formes distinctes, y compris les IgM monomériques liées à la membrane dans le complexe du récepteur des cellules B (BCR), les IgM pentamériques et hexamériques dans le sérum ...
