ABSTRACT:
The subject invention concerns novel polynucleotide sequences which code for polypeptides which bind IgA. A further aspect of the invention are hybrid proteins (and genes encoding these hybrid proteins) which comprise binding domains for both IgA and IgG. The invention also pertains to methods for detecting IgA.
