What Are Structural Connections?

The linking structure chain is a glycoprotein secreted by plasma cells. It is rich in cysteine and can form dimers and pentamers by linking Ig (antibody) monomers. Plasma cells are mostly found in the connective tissue of the intrinsic membrane of the digestive tract and the respiratory tract. The cells are small, round or oval, with a round nucleus but one side of the cell, thick chromatin, and a radial arrangement along the nuclear membrane into a wheel shape. The cytoplasm was basophilic and stained blue. Near the nucleus, there is a lightly colored area. ^[1]
