The structures of secretory and dimeric immunoglobulin A
eLife, 2020 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 ...

Structure of the human secretory immunoglobulin M core [PDF]
Structure, 2020 Abstract Immunoglobulins (Ig) A and M are the only human antibodies that form oligomers and undergo transcytosis to mucosal secretions via the polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR). When complexed with the J-chain (JC) and the secretory component (SC) of pIgR, secretory IgA and IgM (sIgA and sIgM) play critical roles in host-pathogen defense ...

Secretory structure diversity on Astronium leaf
Botany, 2022 Astronium fraxinifolium Schott and Astronium graveolens Jacq. are included in the Anacardiaceae. The secretory structures of Anacardiaceae have been studied several times; however, there is a lack of knowledge related to these structures in Astronium, and there are inconsistencies in the taxonomy of the groups.
