Oh dang it! I forgot about the test today. What is its coverage?
It's alright the topic is rather easy. It's about the different types of antibodies. Come with me; I'll teach you!
IgG
As illustrated on the board, there are 5 known antibodies. This is the most common antibody. It is found in blood and other bodily fluids and defends against bacterial and viral diseases. IgG can take some time to develop following an illness or immunization.
IgM
IgA
IgD
IgE
IgG
Next is IgM, it is the initial antibody produced by the body to combat a new infection is found primarily in the blood and lymph fluid while IgE which is primarily related with allergic reactions.
IgM
IgA
IgD
IgE
IgG
The IgA is the most common form of antibody in the body, accounting for the majority of immunoglobulin in secretions as well as a large quantity of circulating immunoglobulin. It protects mucosal tissues from microbial invasion and maintains immunological homeostasis with the microbiota in secretions.
IgM
IgA
IgD
IgE
IgG
IgD is a monomeric antibody isotype found in the plasma membranes of immature B-lymphocytes. IgD is also synthesized in a secreted form, which can be seen in trace amounts in blood serum. IgD is known to trigger B cells to activate in order for them to participate in immune defense.
IgM
IgA
IgD
IgE
IgG
Last is the IgE. It is a kind of antibody that has only been discovered in animals. Plasma cells are responsible for the production of IgE. IgE monomers are made up of two heavy chains and two light chains, each with four Ig-like constant domains.
I can't believe it's that simple! Thank you so much! I'm surely gonna ace this test.
