... Half life – 6 – 8 days. Ig A occurs in two forms – Serum Ig A & Secretory Ig A. Serum Ig A is a monomeric 7S molecule.(MW: 160,000), While Ig A in the mucosal surfaces & secretions (Secretory Ig A, MW: 400,000) is a dimer. It is formed by two monomer units joined together by a glycoprotein – J chain ...
