18
Q

What immunoglobulin is predominant in primary response

A

IgM

19
Q

A

IgG/IgY

20
Q

What immunoglobulin is predominant in body fluids

A

IgA

21
Q

Where do neonates receive each immunoglobulin in passive immunity

A

IgG/IgY - yolk sac
IgA/IgM - oviduct secretions (amniotic)

22
Q

What does IEL standard for

A

Intra-epithelial lymphocytes

23

24
Q

What important structure is absent in reptiles

A

germinal centers
