−During lactation the levels of IgA increase so that it becomes the predominant immunoglobulin in the milk (more than IgG). Mucosal epithelium have a “poly Ig receptor” and this bind to the J chain on the IgA and allows IgA to travel across the cell. IgA crosses the cell in a transport vesicle and is released by exocytosis.</p>
