Chapter 25.5, Problem 3MQ
Summary Introduction
IgA represents the class of antibodies serving as the first line of defense against disease causing bacteria. IgA is present in the different secretions of the mucous membrane. IgA resist the process of adherence between the bacteria and host cell receptor. IgAse are the class of enzymes that inactivate antibody IgA by compromising host defense response.
