Product details
Abcam's anti-Adenovirus IgM Human in vitro ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the accurate qualitative measurement of IgM class antibodies against Adenovirus in Human serum and plasma.
A 96-well plate has been precoated with Adenovirus antigens to bind cognate antibodies. Controls or test samples are added to the wells and incubated. Following washing, a horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labelled anti-Human IgM conjugate is added to the wells, which binds to the immobilized Adenovirus-specific antibodies. TMB is then catalyzed by the HRP to produce a blue color product that changes to yellow after adding an acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the amount of Adenovirus IgM sample captured in plate.

Biological function summary
This immunoglobulin marks recent adenovirus infection and initial immune activation. During infections the immune system produces Adenovirus IgM which binds to the viral antigen hindering viral replication and promoting viral clearance. Whilst not part of large protein complexes it interacts directly with adenovirus structural proteins. This interaction helps in activating the complement system and facilitating phagocytosis by immune cells.
Pathways
The immune response against adenovirus involves the classical complement pathway and antibody-mediated antigen recognition. Adenovirus IgM initiates the complement cascade leading to opsonization and lysis of virus particles. It shares its function with Adenovirus IgG as both counter the viral infection. However IgM functions earlier than IgG during the infection timeline. The antibody's activity is important for the swift clearance of the virus.
