Target Information
Bovine IgA (immunoglobulin A) is a critical antibody isotype in cattle, playing a vital role in mucosal immunity and overall immune defense. It is predominantly found in mucosal secretions such as saliva, tears, and gastrointestinal fluids, where it helps neutralize pathogens and prevent their adherence to mucosal surfaces. IgA is also present in the serum, contributing to systemic immune responses. In cattle, IgA is synthesized by plasma cells located in mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT) and is secreted in a dimeric form, linked by a J-chain. This structure enhances its ability to trap and neutralize pathogens, making it a crucial component of the mucosal immune barrier.
