Abstract: Polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (abbreviation as pIgR) is the key member of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and secretory immune system (SIS). It plays an important role in IgA or IgM transportation and mucosa immune. This article summarizes the molecular structures, biological functions and research advances of pIgR based on recent researches.

Key words: pIgR/SC; IgA/IgM; antibody transportation; mucosa immune
