Human IgA Antibody for ELISA clone RM128 sandwich ELISA detection of human plasma IgA. Sandwich ELISA analysis of human plasma using Human IgA Antibody for ELISA clone RM128 as the capture antibody (100 ng per well). Detection was performed using biotinylated anti-human light chains (kappa+lambda) antibody clone RM129, followed by alkaline phosphatase conjugated streptavidin for signal development. The assay demonstrates concentration dependent detection of human IgA in serial dilutions of plasma, confirming efficient capture of IgA by clone RM128 and detection through the light chain specific antibody.
Human IgA Antibody for ELISA clone RM128 sandwich ELISA detection of human IgA. Sandwich ELISA analysis of purified human IgA using Human IgA Antibody for ELISA clone RM128 as the capture antibody (100 ng per well). Detection was performed using biotinylated anti-human light chains (kappa+lambda) antibody clone RM129, followed by alkaline phosphatase conjugated streptavidin for signal development. The assay demonstrates concentration dependent detection of human IgA across a dilution series, confirming effective capture of Immunoglobulin alpha heavy chain (IGHA) containing antibodies by clone RM128 and detection through the light chain specific antibody.
Human IgA Antibody for ELISA clone RM128 specificity by ELISA. ELISA analysis of purified human immunoglobulins coated at 50 ng per well demonstrates the binding specificity of Human IgA Antibody for ELISA clone RM128. Strong signal is observed with both human IgA1 and IgA2 across tested antibody concentrations (200 ng/mL, 50 ng/mL, and 10 ng/mL), indicating recognition of the Immunoglobulin alpha heavy chain (IGHA) shared by both IgA subclasses. No detectable binding is observed with other immunoglobulin classes including IgG subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4), IgM, IgD, or IgE, confirming selective detection of human IgA without cross reactivity to other immunoglobulins.
ELISA Titration: the plate was coated with different amounts of human IgA. A serial dilution of the recombinant Human IgA antibody was used as the primary and an alkaline phosphatase conjugated anti-rabbit IgG as the secondary.
IHC staining of FFEP human lymphoid tissue with recombinant Human IgA antibody, HRP-secondary and DAB substrate. A pH6 Citrate buffer or pH9 Tris/EDTA buffer HIER step is recommended for testing of FFPE tissue sections.

Description

Immunoglobulin alpha heavy chain (IGHA) is the defining heavy chain component of immunoglobulin A (IgA), a major antibody class involved in humoral and mucosal immunity. IgA antibodies are produced by plasma cells derived from activated B lymphocytes and function as an important defense mechanism against pathogens encountered at mucosal surfaces and in circulation. The Human IgA Antibody for ELISA clone RM128 recognizes the alpha heavy chain shared by human IgA antibodies and enables detection and quantification of total IgA in immunoassay based experimental systems. IgA plays a central role in protecting epithelial barriers and contributes to immune responses in both systemic and mucosal compartments.

Human IgA exists in two subclasses, IgA1 and IgA2, both of which contain the immunoglobulin alpha heavy chain encoded by the IGHA gene locus. These subclasses differ in hinge region structure and tissue distribution. IgA1 is typically the predominant subclass in serum and many extracellular fluids, while IgA2 is more resistant to bacterial proteases and is commonly enriched in mucosal secretions. Despite these structural differences, both subclasses share conserved heavy chain regions that allow antibodies targeting IGHA to recognize total IgA molecules.

IgA antibodies are produced by plasma cells located in lymphoid tissues such as bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues including tonsils and intestinal lymphoid structures. Secretory IgA is formed when polymeric IgA antibodies interact with the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor on epithelial cells and are transported across mucosal epithelium. After transport, the antibody is released into mucosal secretions as a stabilized complex containing a secretory component, enabling effective immune protection at epithelial surfaces.

Because IgA antibodies are a major component of adaptive immune responses, measurement of total IgA levels provides valuable insight into immune function and antibody production. An IgA antibody suitable for ELISA allows sensitive detection of IgA molecules in biological samples such as serum, plasma, or other fluids. Recombinant antibodies such as clone RM128 support reliable detection of Immunoglobulin alpha heavy chain and enable quantitative assessment of IgA antibody levels in immunological research studies.

Application Notes
