Background: Monomeric IgA is approximately 160 kDa while dimeric IgA is approximately 400 kDa. The IgA1 subclass makes up about 93% of the total IgA with the IgA2 comprising the remaining 7%. Monomeric IgA exists primarily in the serum while dimeric IgA predominates in secretions such as tears, sweat, and mucosal linings. IgA serves as an important defense immunoglobulin in the lungs and gastrointestinal tract.
