  2. Immunoglobulin A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunoglobulin_A

    The high prevalence of IgA in mucosal areas is a result of a cooperation between plasma cells that produce polymeric IgA (pIgA), and mucosal epithelial cells that express polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR). [15] Polymeric IgA (mainly the secretory dimer) is produced by plasma cells in the lamina propria adjacent to

  3. Selective immunoglobulin A deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_immunoglobulin_A...

    Selective immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency (SIgAD [1]) is a kind of immunodeficiency, a type of hypogammaglobulinemia.People with this deficiency lack immunoglobulin A (IgA), a type of antibody that protects against infections of the mucous membranes lining the mouth, airways, and digestive tract.

    A photomicrograph of Candida albicans showing hyphal outgrowth and other morphological characteristics.. Mannan (oligomannan) is a component of the yeast cell wall.Antibodies to yeast mannans are found at increased frequency in Crohn's disease and ASCA positive Crohn's tend to have lower low levels of mannan-binding lectin.

  5. Macroamylasemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macroamylasemia

    Macroamylasemia is the presence of macroamylase in the blood. Macroamylase is a complex of the enzyme amylase bound to other proteins forming a larger molecule. [1] Macroamylase is typically composed of immunoglobulin A (IgA, 70%) and less often of immunoglobulin G (IgG, 30%). The association of amylase with some drugs has also been reported.

  6. IgA nephropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IgA_nephropathy

    IgA nephropathy (IgAN), also known as Berger's disease (/ b ɛər ˈ ʒ eɪ /) (and variations), or synpharyngitic glomerulonephritis, is a disease of the kidney (or nephropathy) and the immune system; specifically it is a form of glomerulonephritis or an inflammation of the glomeruli of the kidney.

  7. Warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warm_antibody_autoimmune...

    The most common antibody isotype involved in warm antibody AIHA is IgG, though sometimes IgA is found. The IgG antibodies attach to a red blood cell, leaving their F C portion exposed with maximal reactivity at 37 °C (versus cold antibody induced hemolytic anemia whose antibodies only bind red blood cells at low body temperatures, typically 28–31 °C).

    The panel simultaneously tests 4 patients (one in each quadrant). Each patient has 6 electrophoresis panels: The left one is a conventional serum protein electrophoresis. The remainder get solutions with anti-IgG, anti-IgA, anti-IgM, anti-kappa light chain and anti-lambda light chain immunoglobulin, respectively from left to right.

  9. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...
