Immunoglobulin A only weakly. IgA exists in two isotypes, IgA1 and IgA2. They are both heavily glycosylated proteins. While IgA1 predominates in serum (~80%), IgA2 percentages are higher in secretions than in serum (~35% in secretions); the ratio of IgA1 and IgA2 secreting cells varies in the different lymphoid tissues of the human body: Both IgA1 and IgA2 have been found in external secretions like colostrum, maternal milk, tears and saliva, where IgA2 is more prominent than in the blood. Polysaccharide antigens tend to induce more IgA2 than protein antigens. Both IgA1 and IgA2 can be in membrane-bound form. ("see B-cell receptor")
Invariant of a binary form basic invariants (3 of degree 2, 4 of degree 3, and 1 of degree 4) and 28 basic covariants. (Gordan gave 30 covariants, but Sylvester showed that two of these are reducible.) The numbers of generators of invariants or covariants were given by . Invariant of a binary form In mathematical invariant theory, an invariant of a binary form is a polynomial in the coefficients of a binary form in two variables "x" and "y" that remains invariant under the special linear group acting on the variables "x" and "y". A binary form (of degree "n") is a homogeneous polynomial
