An investigation of the binding capacities of recombinant domain mutants of the human Polymeric Immunoglobulin Receptor (pIgR)

The membrane bound glycoprotein, polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) is the primary transport molecule of the polymeric immunoglobulins, dimeric IgA and pentameric IgM, across epithelial cells. This process, known as transcytosis, is essential in order to establish immunity at mucosal surfaces....
