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")
Bilinear form of the bilinear form "B" and is independent of the antisymmetric part. In this case there is a one-to-one correspondence between the symmetric part of the bilinear form and the quadratic form, and it makes sense to speak of the symmetric bilinear form associated with a quadratic form. When and , this correspondence between quadratic forms and symmetric bilinear forms breaks down. Definition: A bilinear form is called reflexive if implies for all v, w in "V". Definition: Let be a reflexive bilinear form. v, w in "V" are orthogonal with respect to "B" if . A bilinear form "B"
