16
Q

Functions:

Complement fixation (Classical; most
potent and effective)

Agglutination reaction (can initiate
Lattice Formation)—best agglutinating antibody because IgM is the biggest Ab

Opsonization
Neutralization of toxin

A

IgM

17
Q

Functions in:

Opsonization
Neutralization of toxin

A

IgG and IgM

18
Q

IgA Exist as monomer () and dimer ()

A

blood; secretion

19
Q

Responsible for mucosal immunity
— Transferred by the mother thru
colostrum (along IgG)

A

IgA

20
Q

responsible
for maintaining the IgA structure in the secretion by preventing enzymatic degradation of the antibody structure

A

secretory component

21
Q

subclasses of IgA

A

IgA1 , IgA2
