IgM
|
largest, pentamer
10 FAB sites, 5FC sites Activates classical complement Only need one molecule to bind to b/c it is so big neutralizes toxins neutralizes infectivity of extracellular virus and bacteria 1st IG formed, DIAGNOSTIC TOOL In acute phase, generally monomer on mature B cells |
|
IgG
|
80% of all Ig
neutralizs toxins(ezymatic activity) neutralizes infectivity of extracellular virus and baceria Activates Classiscal Comp. Pathway Crosses the Placenta |
|
IgA
|
2 forms
monomer in blood (lot alot) dimer in secretions (sIgA) 4FAB 2FC with a J joining chain protects mucosal surfaces present in all secretions, saliva, tears, colostrium, breast milk, mucosal secretions |
|
sIgA
|
sIgA producing plasma cells migrate to all secretory and mucosal sites
interfers with attahcemtn and colonization neutralize infectivity of extracellular virus and bacteria neutrilizes toxins |
|
IgE
|
nearly all is blound to the surface of Mast cells and Basophils via its FC end
Mast Cells and Basophils are covered with IgE Mast cells release histamines b/c of IgE |
|
IgD
|
found ONLY on the surface of mature B cells as a receptor for Agn
FC end is attahced to B Cell FAB waits for antigen |
