In its secretory form, SIgA, it is the most plentiful antibody in human milk. [2] [8] It constitutes between 80-90% of all immunoglobulins present in milk. [8] SIgA provides adaptive immunity by directly targeting specific pathogens that both infant and mother have been exposed to in their environments. [2] [10]
Bovine milk contains both immunoglobulins A and G, but in contrast to human milk where IgA is the most abundant, IgG is more abundant. [4] Secretory Component , IgM , both anti-inflammatory and inflammatory cytokines , and other proteins with antimicrobial functions are also present in bovine milk.
Both IgA1 and IgA2 have been found in external secretions like colostrum, maternal milk, tears and saliva, where IgA2 is more prominent than in the blood. [10] Polysaccharide antigens tend to induce more IgA2 than protein antigens. [11] Both IgA1 and IgA2 can be in membrane-bound form. [13] (see B-cell receptor)
Immunoglobulins are composed of light chains and heavy chains. The light chain (λ or κ) is a protein of ~220 amino acids, composed of a variable domain, VL (a segment of approximately 110 amino acids), and a constant domain, CL (also approximately 110 amino acids long).

The immunoglobulin domain, also known as the immunoglobulin fold, is a type of protein domain that consists of a 2-layer sandwich of 7-9 antiparallel β-strands arranged in two β-sheets with a Greek key topology, [1] [2] consisting of about 125 amino acids. The backbone switches repeatedly between the two β-sheets.
