Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is the largest of several isotypes of antibodies (also known as immunoglobulin) that are produced by vertebrates. IgM is the first...

myeloma protein spikes representing: a) intact IgG, IgA, IgE, IgE, or IgM; b) intact IgG, IgA, IgE, IgD, or IgM plus high concentrations of a free (i.e. not...

isotypes: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. Human IgG and IgA antibodies are also divided into discrete subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4; IgA1 and IgA2). The...

IgM nephropathy or immunoglobulin M nephropathy (IgMN) is a kind of idiopathic glomerulonephritis that is marked by IgM diffuse deposits in the glomerular...

Hyper IgM syndrome is a rare primary immune deficiency disorders characterized by low or absent levels of serum IgG, IgA, IgE and normal or increased levels...

suggests that IgG3 (and IgE) appear early in a response. The IgG3, though of relatively low affinity, allows IgG-mediated defences to join IgM-mediated defences...

IGM may refer to: Initiative on Global Markets, at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business IG Metall, German metalworkers' union IGM Financial...

where it is usually co-expressed with another cell surface antibody called IgM. IgD is also produced in a secreted form that is found in very small amounts...

Isolated primary immunoglobulin M deficiency is a poorly defined dysgammaglobulinemia characterized by decreased levels of IgM while levels of other immunoglobulins...

needed] Anti-antibodies for human purposes are able to recognize IgM, IgA, IgE, IgD, and IgG. To detect all isotypes of human antibodies, anti-human kappa...

levels of monoclonal IgA, IgG, free κ light chains, or free λ light chains are extremely high in patients with non-IgM MGUS, non-IgM smoldering multiple...

signaling chains. Another receptor can also bind IgA, although it has higher affinity for another antibody called IgM. This receptor is called the Fc-alpha/mu...

shows mesangial deposition of IgA often with C3 and properdin and smaller amounts of other immunoglobulins (IgG or IgM). Early components of the classical...

I. G. Farbenindustrie AG ("dye industry syndicate"), commonly known as IG Farben, was a German chemical and pharmaceutical conglomerate. It was formed...

by polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Unlike IgM and IgG, which activate complement through the classical pathway, IgA can activate complement via the alternative...

attached as fixed test lines. It separately identifies IgM and IgG antibodies. IgM shows recent infection; IgG signifies remote infection.[citation needed] The...

the IgG component. This differentiation of antibody classes is important as it allows for the distinction of a recent (IgM) from an old infection (IgG)...

immunoglobulins, which are IgA, IgE and IgG. There are 5 types of hypergammaglobulinemias associated with hyper IgM. MeSH considers hyper IgM syndrome to be a form...

example, most antigens prompt seroconversion for the IgM class of antibodies first, and subsequently the IgG class. Seroconversion rates are one of the methods...

is an Immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated immediate reaction; type II, an antibody-mediated reaction mainly involving IgG or IgM; type III, an immune complex-mediated...

Joining (J) chain is a protein component that links monomers of antibodies IgM and IgA to form polymeric antibodies capable of secretion. The J chain is well...

antigens. It is common for D-negative individuals not to have any anti-D IgG or IgM antibodies, because anti-D antibodies are not usually produced by sensitization...

any isotype of immunoglobulins; i.e., IgA, IgG, IgM, IgE, IgD. RF is tested by collecting blood in a plain tube (5 mL is often enough). The serum is tested...
