IgG
secondary (delayed) response to Ag
most abundant isotype in serum
fixes complement
crosses placenta - passive immunity to infant
opsonizes bacteria
neutralizes bacterial toxins & viruses
IgA
in mucosa
prevents attachment of bacteria & viruses to mucous membranes
monomer in circulation, dimer when secreted
crosses EP cells via transcytosis
prod in Peyers patches –> protect GI from infxn
most produced Ab overall, but lower serum concentrations
released in secretions (tears, saliva, mucus) & breast milk
IgM
primary (immediate) response to Ag
fixes complement
Ag Rc on B cells
monomer on B cell, pentamer when secreted = avid binding to Ag
IgD
unclear fxn
on surface of B cells & in serum
IgE
binds mast cells & basophils
crosslinks when exposed to allergen –> release of inflammatory mediators –> type I hypersensitivity rxn
activates eosinophils in parasitic infxns
lowest concentration in serum
C-reactive protein
acute phase reactant
opsonin
fixes complement & facilitates complement
ferritin
binds & sequesters iron to (-) microbial iron sequestration
fibrinogen
coagulation factor
promotes endothelial repair
correlates w/ ESR
hepcidin
prevents release of iron bound by ferritin –> anemia of chronic disease
IL-1
fever, acute inflammation
activates endothelium to express adhesion molec
induces chemokine secretion to recruit WBC
[macrophages]
IL-2
(+) growth of T cells & NK cells
[Th1 &Th2 cells]
IL-3
supports growth & differentiation of BM stem cells
fxn like GM-CSF
[TH1 & TH2 cells]
IL-4
induces differentiation into Th2 cells promotes growth of B cells class switching to IgE & IgG
[Th2 cells]
IL-5
promotes differentiation of B cells
class switching to IgA
growth & differentiation of eosinophils
[Th2 cells]
IL-6
fever
stimulates production of acute phase reactants
[macrophages]
IL-8
major chemotactic factor for neutrophils
[macrophages]
IL-10
inhibits Th1
inhibits macrophages
[Th2 cells]
