Relevance
IgM normally constitutes about 10% of serum immunoglobulins. IgM antibody is prominent in early immune responses to most antigens and is largely confined to plasma due to it's large size. Monomeric IgM is expressed as a membrane bound antibody on the surface of B cells and as a pentamer when secreted by plasma cells. Due to it's high valency IgM is more efficient than other isotypes is binding antigens with repeating epitopes (virus particles and red blood cells) and is more efficient than IgG in activiating the complement pathway. The gene for the mu constant region contains four domains separated by short intervening sequences. IgM measurement yields information about the body's immediate resistance and response to infection as well as information related to specific diseases. Decreased levels are associated with immune deficiency states, hereditary deficiencies, and myeloma. Increased levels can be associated with Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, chronic infection and hepatocellular disease. -

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Human IgM antibody [EPR20731] (ab212201)
Immunofluorescent analysis of 100% methanol-fixed Raji (human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line) cells labeling IgM with ab212201 at 1/100 dilution, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution (green). Confocal image showing cytoplasmic staining in Raji cells.
The nuclear counterstain is DAPI (blue). Tubulin is detected with Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab195889) at 1/200 dilution (red).
Secondary antibody only control: Used PBS instead of primary antibody, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. -

Flow Cytometry - Anti-Human IgM antibody [EPR20731] (ab212201)Flow cytometric analysis of human PBMC (peripheral blood mononuclear cells) cell line labeling IgM with ab212201 at 1/50 (right panel) compared with an isotype control details (ab172730) (left panel). Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077), at 1/2000 dilution was used as the secondary antibody.
Human PBMCs co-stained with anti-CD19 (Y-axis); only CD19+ population give a positive signal for IgM. Gated on total viable cells.

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Human IgM antibody [EPR20731] (ab212201)IgM was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg of Raji (human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line) whole cell lysate with ab212201 at 1/30 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab212201 at 1/1000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366), was used for detection at 1/10,000 dilution.
Lane 1: Raji whole cell lysate 10 μg (Input).
Lane 2: ab212201 IP in Raji whole cell lysate.
Lane 3: Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab212201 in Raji whole cell lysate.
Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.
Exposure time: 10 seconds.
