Does mucus contain IgA and IgM?

by Dimamar on Wed Aug 02, 2017 3:19 pm

It was mentioned in another forum thread that mucus, specifically stool mucus, contains IgA and IgM. Mark T wrote:

stool contains a lot of mucus, and I've come to find out in all my searching for help that this mucus contains IgA and IgM immunoglobulins

Is this true?

If so, in my case these could be washed out of the body, which could explain my immunoparesis.
