Schematic representation of SIgA. SIgA consists of at least two IgA monomers linked to a J chain and a secretory component (SC). The J chain and SC are disulfide linked to the Fc region of the IgA molecule. Each IgA monomers consist of two α-heavy chains and two light chains linked covalently by disulfide bonds. The wavy line represents the SC.
