Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the main effector of the mucosal surface and is an important first line of defense against most pathogens. It is also found in saliva, tears, and colostrum. IgA is produced by plasma cells as polymeric IgA consisting of two or more monomers linked by the J (joining) chain. It is then transfered to the epithelium and secreted. It is believed to interfere with pathogen adherence. IgA is also found as a monomer in the serum where it is a second line of defence against pathogens.

What are secreted by plasma cells and are also known as antibodies?
immunoglobulins
What is the G1 stage in the cell cycle?
The G1 stage is the stage in which processes such as plasma growth takes place. The size of the cell increases and the cell is made ready for DNA synthesis.
What does Ribosome mean?
A ribosome is an organelle - a small, specialised part of the cell enclosed in a plasma membrane. Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis.
Another name for plasma membrane?
A cell membrane is also known as a plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane. The cell membrane separates the interior of a cell from its outside environment. The main function of a cell membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings.
How is the plasma membrane of the liver cell?
plasma membrane
What organs produce immunoglobulins?
Plasma cells.
What is the site of hormones synthesis?
Plasma (cell) membrance
How is immunoglobulin made?
Immunoglobulins, more commonly referred to as antibodies.- Immunoglobulins/antibodies are synthesized by plasma cells which is a specialized type of B-cell. Immature B-cells are produced in red bone marrow and then migrating to the spleen where some of them mature to a mature B-cell. A mature B-cell can differentiate into either a memory B-cell or a plasma cell."- In human adults, Immunoglobulins are synthesized by plasma cells (specialized type of B-cell) which in turn originates from red bone marrow in large bones (eg. femur).
What are secreted by plasma cells and are also known as antibodies?
immunoglobulins
What is the fraction of plasma proteins that contain antibodies?
immunoglobulins
What are the plasma proteins that are important in body defense?
immunoglobulins.
Where does plasma protein synthesis occur?
All plasma protein synthesis occurs in the liver.
How do you call the soluble proteins secreted by plasma cells?
Yes they are
What cell that is smaller than a red blood cell?
immunoglobulins
Which of the following incorrectly matches the type of cell type of protein and site of the proteins synthesis?
prokaryote, plasma membrane protein, ribosome bound to plasma membrane
What is the G1 stage in the cell cycle?
The G1 stage is the stage in which processes such as plasma growth takes place. The size of the cell increases and the cell is made ready for DNA synthesis.
What does Ribosome mean?
