- W2177546315 abstract "IgM is an important class of serum antibody that mediates the clearance of apoptotic and altered cells through complement-dependent and -independent mechanisms. IgM mediates protection against infection and may play an important role in controlling Plasmodium falciparum malaria. IgM provides new routes to more effective drugs and vaccines. Fcμ-binding proteins expressed on the surfaces of both infected erythrocytes and merozoites facilitate immune evasion through diverse mechanisms. Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is an ancient antibody class that is found in all vertebrates, with the exception of coelacanths, and is indispensable in both innate and adaptive immunity. The equally ancient human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, formed an intimate relationship with IgM with which it co-evolved. In this article, we discuss the association between IgM and human malaria parasites, building on several recent publications that implicate IgM as a crucial molecule that determines both host and parasite survival. Consequently, a better understanding of this association may lead to the development of improved intervention strategies.

Consequently, a better understanding of this association may lead to the development of improved intervention strategies. the biochemical process of programmed cell death (PCD) that occurs in multicellular organisms, leading to characteristic cell changes and death. Apoptotic cells are cleared by IgM and complement activation. a process whereby cells degrade intracellular components to promote their own survival in response to cellular stress. biochemical pathways that have evolved to label pathogens and/or apoptotic cells for elimination. The classical pathway links to adaptive immune systems through IgM. The alternative and lectin pathways provide antibody-independent ‘innate’ immunity, and the alternative pathway is linked to and amplifies the classical pathway. leucocytes that sense tissue injury, capture antigens, and present those antigens to T lymphocytes to induce immunity to foreign antigens and enforce tolerance to self-antigens. the portion of an antibody responsible for binding to immunoglobulin receptors on cells and the C1q component of complement. a membrane-anchored or soluble glycoprotein that binds to the Fc constant region of antibodies. the part of an antibody molecule which contains the antigen-combining site, consisting of a light chain and part of the heavy chain; it is produced by enzymatic digestion. a carbohydrate found in many organisms. It is not found in primates and humans whose immune systems recognize it as foreign and produce xenoreactive IgM antibodies to it. These can lead to organ rejection after transplantation. the first antibody produced in a primary immune response and that is largely confined to the intravascular pool. It is frequently associated with the immune response to antigenically complex, blood-borne infectious organisms. IgM is the most efficient activator of complement. a therapeutic preparation containing polyvalent IgG and/or IgM pooled from human donors. IVIg is used to treat primary immune deficiencies and is increasingly being used in the treatment of autoimmune disease. carbohydrate-binding proteins that are highly specific for sugar moieties. a process by which phagocytosis is facilitated by the deposition of opsonins (e.g., antibody and complement) on the antigen. a process by which cells consume extracellular particles to form an internal vesicle containing those particles. the ability of an antibody molecule to bind to more than one epitope or antigen." @default.
