Immunoglobulin A (IgA) plays a key role in defending mucosal surfaces against attack by
infectious microorganisms. Such sites present a major site of susceptibility due to their vast …

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the most abundant antibody class present at mucosal surfaces.
The production of IgA exceeds the production of all other antibodies combined, supporting …

The vast surfaces of the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and genitourinary tracts represent
major sites of potential attack by invading micro‐organisms. Immunoglobulin A (IgA), as the …

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) has a critical role in immune defense particularly at the mucosal
surfaces, and is equipped to do so by the unique structural attributes of its heavy chain and …

Immunoglobulins couple the recognition of invading pathogens with the triggering of potent
effector mechanisms for pathogen elimination. Different immunoglobulin classes trigger …

Immunoglobulins (Igs) play key roles in immune protection of mucosal surfaces that form an
immense and vulnerable interface with the environment. In humans, the principal Ig in most …

Streptococcus agalactiae (group B Streptococcus) is the major cause of invasive bacterial
disease, including meningitis, in the neonatal period. Although prophylactic measures have …

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of insect full-fat meals (Tenebrio molitor
and Zophobas morio larvae), added “on top” of a complete diet or calculated into diets, on …

Mucosal surfaces constitute the frontiers of the body and are the biggest barriers of our body
for the outside world. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the most abundant antibody class present at …

The staphylococcal superantigen-like proteins (SSLs) are close relatives of the
superantigens but are coded for by a separate gene cluster within a 19-kb region of the …
