The IgM n/a (Catalog #MBS140500) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Mouse Anti Human IgM reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. MyBioSource\'s IgM can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Lateral Flow Immunoassay. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the IgM n/a for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process.The IgM n/a product has the following accession number(s) (GI #1020017) (NCBI Accession #AAC41922.1). Researchers may be interested in using Bioinformatics databases such as those available at The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website for more information about accession numbers and the proteins they represent. Even researchers unfamiliar with bioinformatics databases will find the NCBI databases to be quite user friendly and useful.

Introduction: Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is a basic antibody produced by B cells. IgM is the first antibody to emerge in response to initial exposure to an antigen. IgM antibodies are found in the blood and lymph fluid and are the third most widespread serum Ig. Immunoglobulin M (IgM), being the 3rd most widespread serum Ig and exists in two forms- mostly as a pentamer (970kDa) but also as a hexamer. The pentameric IgM has 10 binding sites since each monomer has two antigen binding sites. Due to distance constraints in the hexameric complex, the J chain is found in pentameric IgM but not in the hexameric form. IgM antibodies, which appear early in the course of an infection, typically reappear to a smaller extent after additional exposure. IgM, as opposed to IgG antibodies, do not pass across the human placenta. These properties of IgM make it suitable for the identification of infectious diseases.
Description: Monoclonal anti-human IgM is the antibody specific for the lateral flow immunoassay development, for dengue IgG/IgM test, the coating concentration for dengue IgG/IgM rapid test is 1.6mg/ml.
In general, we may offer more than one antibody to a given target to enable options for the researcher. Available antibodies recognizing IgM are readily searchable from our website. Different antibodies against the same target such as IgM may be optimized or tested for different applications and species. This enables researchers to select the option that may be best for their model system, to screen more than antibody to determine which one may be best for their model system, as well as to use more than one antibody to follow up on and validate their results.
