• Immunoglobulin
M (IgM) is the third most common antibody class and the predominant
antibody produced first during a primary humoral immune response.
• Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the
predominant antibody class found in the bloodstream and
the primary defender
against invading bacteria.
• Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the antibody
class most commonly associated with various
body secretions, including tears
and milk. IgA pairs with a secretory component to form
secretory IgA.
• Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is the signal
antibody molecule that triggers the release of cell-
damaging molecules onto
parasites, particularly parasitic worms.
• Immunoglobulin D (IgD) is a
membrane-bound antibody molecule found in some animals as
a B cell receptor.
The immunoglobulins that is activated depends on the type of pathogen that enters the body.
