Protein B: an important human IgA-binding reagent

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Protein B had a much higher affinity for human IgA than Jacalin, increasing the sensitivity and specificity of the measurement of total human IgA. Protein B, used as a capturing agent, greatly enhanced the measurement of antigen-specific IgA as compared to alpha chain-specific antibodies.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
