Antibodies, also named as immunoglobulins (Ig), are glycoproteins produced by the immune system that are mainly responsible for the response to pathogenic antigens (bacteria, viruses, toxins, tumor antigens, etc.) to protect the host against infections and some disorders. These antibodies are generally classified into five isotypes in humans: IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, and IgD, each of which has different structure, properties, and special functions. The emergence and evolution of hybridoma technology and other innovative biotechnologies have pushed the development of IgG monoclonal antibodies to an unprecedented new height due to the advantages of easy production, diversity, high affinity, and specificity, etc. Whereas, the development of non-IgG antibodies has not been on track until recent years.
Parameter | IgA | IgM | IgE |
Structure | Dimeric or monomeric | Pentameric | Monomeric |
Molecular Weight | ~385 kDa (dimeric form) | ~970 kDa | ~190 kDa |
Presence in Body Fluids | Found in mucosal areas (saliva, tears, respiratory and intestinal secretions), breast milk | Present in blood and lymphatic fluid | Found in very low concentrations in serum |
Primary Function | Mucosal immunity; prevents colonization by pathogens | Primary antibody in early immune response | Triggers allergic reactions and responses to parasitic infections |
Production Sites | Secreted by plasma cells in mucosal membranes | Produced by plasma cells, primarily in the spleen and lymph nodes | Synthesized by plasma cells in response to allergens |
Half-Life in Serum | ~5-6 days | ~5 days | ~2 days |
Receptors | Binds to the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) for transport across epithelial cells | Activates the complement system by binding to complement protein C1 | Binds with high affinity to FcεRI on mast cells and basophils |
Role in Complement Activation | Minimal involvement | Strong activator of the classical pathway | Does not activate the complement |
Response to Antigen | Provides passive immunity to newborns through breastfeeding | First antibody produced in response to infection | Involved in hypersensitivity (allergic) responses |
Distribution | Found in mucosal secretions and blood | Predominantly in blood | Predominantly bound to mast cells and basophils in tissues |

IgA antibodies, specialized for mucosal immunity, are valuable tools in both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Creative Biolabs offers a high-quality range of IgA monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, distinguished by their exceptional purity, specificity, and stability. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of clinical research, these IgA antibodies provide targeted neutralization of pathogens and are highly effective in modulating immune responses, making them ideal for advancing immunotherapy and vaccine development. With extensive expertise in non-IgG antibody development, we ensure each product meets stringent quality standards and performs optimally in various research and clinical settings.
IgM antibodies, or immunoglobulin M, are the largest and among the most versatile antibodies produced by the vertebrate immune system, playing a pivotal role in both primary and adaptive immune responses. Known for their high avidity and efficient antigen binding, IgM antibodies excel in activating the complement system, a process critical to cytotoxic reactions against pathogens and damaged cells. Notably, IgM antibodies have shown promising applications in cancer immunotherapy, with therapeutic potential demonstrated across various carcinoma models. Creative Biolabs provides a comprehensive selection of recombinant IgM antibodies, designed to meet diverse research and diagnostic needs. Our IgM antibodies, produced with exceptional purity and specificity, support reliable performance in immunoassays and therapeutic exploration.
IgE antibodies, or immunoglobulin E, are a specialized antibody class integral to immune responses against allergens and parasitic infections. Known for their unique role in allergic reactions, IgE antibodies bind to mast cells and basophils, triggering the release of histamines and other mediators essential for immune defense. Beyond allergic responses, recent research has shown that IgE antibodies may hold promise in cancer immunotherapy, as they exhibit high affinity for target cells and have demonstrated potential in targeting specific tumor antigens effectively. Creative Biolabs offers high-quality recombinant IgE antibodies, designed for research applications in allergy, immunology, and oncology. Leveraging advanced antibody engineering and rigorous quality control, our IgE antibodies support accurate, reliable results in complex immunological research, providing scientists with powerful tools to explore and expand the therapeutic possibilities of IgE.
Antibody ELISA kits are essential tools for the accurate quantification and detection of specific antibodies in various sample types, including serum, plasma, and cell culture supernatants. These kits provide high sensitivity and specificity, allowing researchers to detect even low concentrations of target antibodies. Designed for ease of use and reproducibility, they include pre-coated plates, standards, and all necessary reagents to streamline the assay process. Creative Biolabs offers a comprehensive selection of antibody ELISA kits tailored for diverse research needs, ensuring reliable results for applications in immunology, diagnostics, and biomarker discovery, especially for the detection of non-IgG antibodies.
