IgA is an immunoglobulin class with α heavy chains, found in monomeric and polymeric (mainly dimeric) forms, with the polymeric form being the primary antibody secreted by mucosal tissues.
Immunoglobulin class composed of α heavy chains that can occur in a monomeric and a polymeric mainly dimeric form. The polymeric form of this immunoglobulin class is the main antibody secreted by mucosal lymphoid tissues
