Match the ANTIBODY class to this description:
Predominant antibody in mucus, saliva, tears and milk
IgA
Match the ANTIBODY class to this description:
Crosses the placenta, giving passive immunity to the foetus
IgG
Match the ANTIBODY class to this description:
The most abundant antibody found in blood plasma and chief antibody released during secondary responses.
IgG
Match the ANTIBODY class to this description:
Binds to the surface of mast cells and mediates an allergic response
IgE
Match the ANTIBODY class to this description:
Virtually always bound to the surface of a B cell; its antigen receptor
