The structures of IgM and IgA contain a component that no other antibodies contain. This structural component provides for specific binding to a receptor. Please label your answers (1-4). 1. What is the structural component? 2. What is the receptor that can be bound by the antibodies due to the structural component, above? 3. Binding to this receptor facilitates what to be done with these antibodies (something that is not done to any other antibodies)? 4. In what tissue is this receptor most commonly found?
