Abstract excerpt
Polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) plays an important role in mucosal immune systems. Secretory immunoglobulin A, composed of secretory component of pIgR and a dimeric form of immunoglobulin A, is secreted on mucosal surfaces and serves as a biological defense factor. pIgR gene expression is reportedly induced by activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor (NF)-κB. On the other hand, secretory...
