Human IgA, also known as human immunoglobulin A, is an antibody that is produced by the immune system in response to antigens. It is the most abundant immunoglobulin in mucosal secretions, such as saliva, tears, and breast milk, and plays a key role in defense against pathogens at mucosal surfaces. IgA works by binding to specific antigens and preventing them from entering the body's tissues. It can also activate complement and promote phagocytosis by immune cells. Human IgA can be used in research to study the immune response to pathogens and to develop diagnostic tests and therapeutic interventions for infectious diseases.
