"This is an author-produced version of a manuscript accepted for publication in The Journal of Immunology (The JI). The American Association of Immunologists, Inc. (AAI), publisher of The JI, holds the copyright to this manuscript. This version of the manuscript has not yet been copyedited or subjected to editorial proofreading by The JI; hence, it may differ from the final version published in The JI (online and in print). AAI (The JI) is not liable for errors or omissions in this author-produced version of the manuscript or in any version derived from it by the U.S. National Institutes of Health or any other third party. The final, citable version of record can be found at www.jimmunol.org." Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is an ancestral antibody class found in all jawed vertebrates from sharks to mammals. This ancient ancestry is shared by malaria parasites (genus Plasmodium) that infect all classes of terrestrial vertebrates with whom they coevolved. IgM, the least studied, and most enigmatic of the vertebrate immunoglobulins has recently been shown to form an intimate relationship with the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Here we discuss how this association might come about, building on the recently determined structure of the human IgM pentamer, and how this interaction could affect parasite survival, particularly in light of the just discovered Fcμ-receptor (FcµR) localized to B and T cell surfaces. As this parasite may exploit an interaction with IgM to not only limit immune detection but also manipulate the immune response when detected, a better understanding of this association may prove critical for the development of improved vaccines or vaccination strategies.
