What are the benefits of immunoglobulin A?

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) accounts for most of the immunoglobulin in secretions and a significant amount of circulating immunoglobulin. In secretions, it serves to protect the mucosal tissues from microbial invasion and maintain immune homeostasis with the microbiota.

What does IgA do for your body?

IgA is one of the most common antibodies in the body. It's usually found in mucous membranes (tissue that lines and protects the inside of your body) in places like the nose, throat, intestines, and stomach. IgA is also in saliva (spit), and tears. IgA in mucous membranes helps protect the body from germs.

What does it mean if your IgA is high?

Elevated IgA “could indicate an infection,” Dr. Kin said. “Very high levels would be concerning for cancer.” High IgA is often seen in patients with multiple myeloma. In these cases, the high IgA results from abnormal immune cells producing excess amounts of the protein.

What does very low immunoglobulin A mean?
