Human immunoglobulin A (IgA) is found in serum and secretions in several different forms (
1
), Serum IgA is produced by the bone marrow and is pre-dominately monomeric (
M
r= 160 kDa). Most of the IgA in secretions (sIgA) is polymeric, predominantly dimeric, comprising two monomer subunits linkedtogether by intersubunit disulfide bonds and a cysteine-rich polypeptide termed J-chain (
M
r= 16 kDa). Polymeric IgA in secretions, but not in serum, contains an additional heavily glycosylated protein called secretorycomponent (SC) (
M
r= 70 kDa).
