Classes of Immunoglobulins Flashcards
Predominant Ig in healthy human serum
IgG
antibody with the longest half-life or circulation life
IgG
predominant antibody in
the secondary or the anamnestic response
IgG
Provides immunity to the newborn
Fixation of complement (Classical Pathway)
Opsonization
Toxin and virus neutralization
Participates in agglutination and precipitation reaction
IgG
only antibody that can actively cross
the placenta because it is the smallest antibody; can provide neonatal immunity
IgG
IgG subclasses that can actively cross placental
IgG1 and IgG3
most to least potent IgG
IgG3, IgG1, IgG2
best precipitating antibody
IgG
Warm-reacting antibodies; Optimally
reacts at 37°C.
IgG
66% IgG in circulation
IgG1
15 disulfide bonds in what IgG
IgG3
Primary response
antibody; predominant Ab during acute stage of disease
IgM
First to appear in phylogeny and the last to leave in senescence
IgM
Fist heavy chain to be synthesized; First antibody to be express on the surface of B cells
IgM
best agglutinating antibody that can induce lattice formation
IgM
