Research Study
Discover the powerful role of slgA in gut health and mucosal immunity
sIgA is the antibody that plays the key role in mucosal immunity. Mucosal immunity refers to the portion of the immune system that provides protection to various mucous membranes against invasion by potentially pathogenic microbes. The mucous membranes are on the surface of cavities that are exposed to the external environment, such as the digestive and respiratory tracts.
Recent science shows that sIgA may also have other beneficial effects in overall immunity through reduced inflammation in the digestive tract. This paper will review sIgA’s known effects on mucosal immunity and describe the emerging research that shows its beneficial impact on digestive health.
