Specifications
Target Information
Porcine IgM, the first immunoglobulin produced in the primary immune response in pigs, is a pentameric antibody with a high molecular weight and strong antigen-binding capabilities. As the initial line of defense against invading pathogens, IgM is crucial for initiating the immune response and is particularly effective at neutralizing bacteria and viruses. This immunoglobulin class is characterized by its rapid production following antigen exposure, making it a key player in the early stages of infection. Porcine IgM can activate the complement system efficiently, enhancing the pig's ability to clear pathogens and initiate inflammation.
