title: The importance of IgA in nonmucosal immune responses.
abstract: IgA may be an important component of nonmucosal immune responses, like those occurring in the central nervous system, in certain virus infections, and in multiple sclerosis. Mucosal immune responses, in appropriate, natural, and experimental situations, may be predominantly IgE or IgG, or indeed T-cell mediated.
