Service Details
Immunoglobulins serve as key detection molecules in the immune system. Among the five major classes of immunoglobulins, the immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody characterized by the µ heavy chain, is the largest. It is generated as a B cell membrane bound monomer and a secreted pentamer. The IgM multimer has either 10 (pentamer) or 12 (hexamer) antigen binding domains consisting of paired µ heavy chains with four constant domains, each with a single variable domain, paired with a corresponding light chain. IgM accounts for 6% of the total serum immunoglobulin, and is generally a protective antibody with immunity and mainly exists in the blood of animals. Therefore, the determination of IgM antibody has a high clinical diagnosis for some infectious diseases such as hepatitis value.

The IgM antibody sequencing service provided by Creative Proteomics also adaopt an advanced immunoglobulin profiling sequencing method that uses HCD + ETD to generate simple, easy-to-read sequence ladders for IgM light and heavy chains. Our scientists with extensive antibody sequencing experience use the ETD + HCD to ionizate your antibodies, which would be increase the formation of fragmentions to the benefit of decoding antibodies.
At Creative Proteomics, we also provide customized immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody sequencing services according to customer needs, and provide professional IgM antibody sequencing services to ensure that all immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies are tested with an accuracy rate of up to 100% sequencing. Our immunoglobulin sequencing technology is suitable for any natural or variant antibody.
