Constant domain-regulated antibody catalysis by Sapparapu, Gopal, Planque, Stephanie, Mitsuda, Yukie, McLean, Gary R., Nishiyama, Yasuhiro, Paul, Sudhir

“…The catalytic activity of polyclonal IgM was superior to polyclonal IgG from the same sera, indicating that on average IgMs express the catalytic function at levels greater than IgGs. The findings indicate a favorable effect of the remote IgM constant domain scaffold on the integrity of the V-domain catalytic site and provide a structural basis for conceiving antibody catalysis as a first line immune function expressed at high levels prior to development of mature IgG class antibodies.…”
