Emerging functions of natural IgM and its Fc receptor FCMR in immune homeostasis
Most natural IgM antibodies are encoded by germline Ig sequences and are produced in large quantities by both mice and humans in the absence of intentional immunization.Natural IgM are reactive with many conserved epitopes, including those shared stealth 67g2 by microorganisms and autoantigens.As a result, these antibodies play important roles in c
