Question 21

role of IgG

Answer 21

secondary response

- largest conc- principle immunoglobulin within serum during immune response

Question 22

antibodies become IgG after

Answer 22

mutation of IgM- greater affinity to epitope)

Question 23

role of IgM

Answer 23

primary response- low affinity until b cells go through hyper mutation to rearrange genes encoding the variable domains- switching class to an IgG

role of IgA

Answer 24

comes in three diff shapes
-monomer
-dimer
-trimer
Protects mucus membranes

role of IgE

Answer 25

single Y- protects against parasites

Question 26

role of IgD

Answer 26

no idea what they do
