Antiserum to Human IgD (delta chain specific) made in goat | 127002

IgD was first identified in 1965, and like other immunoglobulins, exists as both secreted and membrane forms. Its level in plasma is low with a mean concentration of 30 ug/ml. IgD is present in large quantities on the surface membrane of a majority of human circulating B lymphocytes. IgD enhances humoral immune responses through its induction of IgD-receptor expression on T lymphocytes.
