Immune elimination and enhanced antibody responses: functions of circulating IgA.
Passively transferred MOPC 315 IgA myeloma protein accelerated the elimination of DNP-ovalbumin, to which the myeloma protein bound with antibody-like affinity, from the circulation and increased the subsequent antibody response to hapten and to carrier, when injected with or without adjuvant.
