The five classes of antibodies are IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE. IgG makes up around 80% of antibodies in serum and protects against circulating bacteria and viruses. IgM is involved in the primary response and is the first antibody to appear after infection. IgA is most common in mucous membranes and body secretions where it helps prevent pathogen attachment. IgD's function is unknown, while IgE binds to mast cells and basophils to trigger allergic reactions. Each class has distinct properties, locations, functions, and roles in the immune response.
Another name of anti-body is immunoglobulins . Anti-body is the glycoprotein which is produce by Bcell and which are responsible to bind antigen with higher specifity and affinity. Anti-body is mainly
distrusted in body fluid and also present surface of some cell.
Immunoglobulin therapy involves pooled immunoglobulins from donor plasma that are administered intravenously or subcutaneously. It is used to treat primary antibody deficiencies and other immune deficiencies by antibody replacement, and can also modulate the immune system for autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Common adverse reactions include mild infusion effects but also potential for hemolytic anemia, thrombosis, renal impairment, and meningitis. Indications are categorized as high priority for primary immunodeficiencies and secondary uses, versus reasonable evidence but other options for conditions like ITP. Dosing is based on patient weight and treatment duration.
This document summarizes key information about immunoglobulins (Ig):
- Igs are antibodies that comprise 20-25% of total serum proteins and are secreted by plasma cells to help remove foreign antigens.
- The main Igs are IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, and IgD, which have different structures, functions, and roles in immunity.
- Igs are composed of polypeptide chains that give them antigen-binding sites and allow for activation of the complement system.
- Diseases like multiple myeloma and amyloidosis involve abnormal Ig production or deposition in tissues.
Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins called immunoglobulins that are produced by plasma cells in response to antigens. There are five major classes of antibodies - IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, and IgE. IgG is the most abundant antibody found in serum and body tissues, where it helps protect against bacteria and viruses. IgM is the first antibody produced during a primary immune response and helps activate the complement system. Antibodies are highly specific and help defend the body by binding to pathogens and marking them for destruction by other parts of the immune system.

Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are Y-shaped glycoproteins produced by plasma cells that recognize and bind to specific antigens. They have a variable region that binds to antigens and a constant region that interacts with other immune system components. The five main classes of antibodies are IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE, which differ in structure and function. Antibodies play a key role in humoral immunity by neutralizing pathogens, agglutinating foreign cells, and activating the complement system and effector cells of the immune system.
This document discusses three types of antigenic determinants found on immunoglobulins: isotypes, allotypes, and idiotypes. Isotypes characterize the classes and subclasses of heavy chains. Allotypes are specified by allelic forms of immunoglobulin genes. Idiotypes are unique antigenic determinants present on individual antibody molecules that are created by the hypervariable regions. Idiotypes can serve as V region markers and play a role in regulating immune responses. Anti-idiotype vaccines have potential applications in vaccines and cancer treatment.

The structure of antibody
Immunoglobulin classes
Monoclonal antibodies VS polyclonal
INTRODUCTION
Antibodies are globulin proteins (immunoglobulins [Ig]) that react specifically with the antigen that stimulated their production.
They make up about 20% of the protein in blood plasma. Blood contains three types of globulins,
alpha,
beta,
gamma,
Antibodies are gamma globulins.
INTRODUCTION
There are five classes of antibodies:
1. IgG,
2. IgM,
3. IgA,
4. IgD,
5. IgE
Antibodies are subdivided into these five classes based on differences in their heavy chains.
ROLE OF ANTIBODIES
The most important functions of antibodies are to
neutralize toxins and viruses,
to opsonize microbes
so they are more easily phagocytosed, to activate complement, and to prevent the attachment of microbes to mucosal surfaces.
In addition to these functions, antibodies have a catalytic (enzymatic) capability
Antibody Type
IgA
IgD
IgE
IgG
IgM
Function
Found in saliva, tears, mucus, breast milk and intestinal fluid, IgA protects against ingested and inhaled pathogens.
This antibody is found on the surface of your B cells. Though its exact function is unclear, experts think that IgD supports B cell maturation and activation.
Found mainly in the skin, lungs and mucus membranes, IgE antibodies cause your mast cells (a type of white blood cell) to release histamine and other chemicals into your bloodstream. IgE antibodies are helpful for fighting off allergic reactions.
This is the most common antibody, making up approximately 70% to 75% of all immunoglobulins in your body. It’s found mainly in blood and tissue fluids. IgG antibodies help protect your body from viral and bacterial infections.
Found in your blood and lymph system, IgM antibodies act as the first line of defense against infections. They also play a large role in immune regulation.
MONOCLONAL VS POLYCLONAL
A. Polyclonal antibodies contain a heterologous mixture of IgGs against the whole antigen
B. monoclonal antibodies are composed of a single IgG against one epitope.
Polyclonal antibodies

There are five classes of antibodies - IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE - that differ in structure, function, and location. IgG is the most abundant antibody found in blood and tissues and provides long-term protection against pathogens through various effector functions. IgM is the first antibody produced during infection and activates the complement system through its pentameric structure. IgA protects mucosal surfaces as a dimer in secretions.
IgM represents about 10-15% of total serum immunoglobulins. It is the first antibody produced during a primary immune response and is responsible for agglutination, viral neutralization, and complement activation. IgM exists as a pentamer with 10 antigen binding sites, making it very efficient at combating pathogens early in the immune response.
IgA represents 15-20% of total circulating immunoglobulins. It exists as a monomer or dimer and is found predominantly in mucosal secretions like tears, sweat, saliva and gastrointestinal tract secretions. Secretory IgA provides local immunity by protecting mucous membranes from invading microorganisms.
IgD represents about 0.25%
This document summarizes the five classes of human immunoglobulins (Igs): IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, and IgE. It describes the key properties and functions of each Ig class, including their structure, abundance in serum, role in immune responses, and ability to activate complement or cross the placenta. IgG is the most abundant Ig and can cross the placenta to provide immunity to newborns. IgA exists as a monomer in serum but a dimer linked by a joining peptide in secretions to protect mucosal surfaces. IgM is the first antibody produced during a primary immune response.
There are five classes of immunoglobulins or antibodies found in serum: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. Each class has a different structure and function. IgA is found in mucous membranes and body fluids. It prevents attachment of viruses and bacteria. IgD is found on B cells and may help initiate immune responses. IgE binds to mast cells and basophils and triggers allergic reactions. IgG is the most abundant antibody and can cross the placenta to provide immunity to infants. IgM is the first antibody produced during infection and can activate the complement system.
This document summarizes key information about immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgM, IgA, and IgE. It outlines their heavy chain symbols, molecular formulas and weights, subclasses, serum concentrations, and main functions. IgG is the most abundant immunoglobulin and plays major roles in secondary immune responses and complement activation. IgM is involved in primary responses and has a high complement fixing ability due to its pentameric structure. IgA is mainly found in secretions and protects mucosal surfaces. IgE binds to mast cells and triggers type I hypersensitivity reactions.
Immunoglobulin, also known as antibodies, are protein molecules produced by plasma cells that help the body recognize and neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses. There are five main types of immunoglobulins: IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, and IgD. IgG is the most abundant antibody found in blood plasma and provides long-term immunity. IgM is the first antibody produced during infection and initiates the primary immune response. IgA is found in secretions like breast milk, tears, and saliva and protects mucosal surfaces from pathogens. The roles of IgD and IgE are still being researched but IgE helps fight parasites and causes allergic reactions when overproduced.
There are 5 main types of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. IgA plays a role in mucosal immune function. IgD makes up 1% of proteins on immature B-cells. IgE helps fight parasitic infections. IgG is the most common antibody in blood, representing 75% of serum antibodies. IgM is the first antibody produced in response to new antigens.

Discuss the specific properties of the 5 classes of Immunoglobulins and the specific component
parts that each have (i.e., J chain, SC protein, CDR regions, ITAM regions, complement
activation, allotype variation).
Solution
Generally there are 5 classes of immunoglobins, and they are IgG, IgM,IgA, IgD and IgE.
IgG
It is the major immunoglobin present in the serum almost about 75 % of immunoglobin in serum
is IgG. Its an important antibody in secondary immune response. It promotes opsonization and
fixes complement and also enhances phagocytosis.
IgM
It is the third most common immunoglobin in the serum. It is the first immunoglobin to be made
by the fetus. It has a pentameric structure. The pentamer has a J chain. Most capable of
complement fixation, agglutination. Present mainly on B cells and effective against viruses and
bacteria. IgM have about 60 CDR’s.
IgA
Secretory immunoglobin mainly present in tears, saliva, colostrum and helps in removal of
microbes from mucous membrane. Consist of 2 heavy chains and two light chains joined by a J
chain. It does not fix complement. Colostrum is having abundant IgA. SC protein is a part of
IgA.
IgD
Present in low levels in serum and found on B cell surface. Exist as monomers. Complement
binding is not done by IgD. The exact function of this class is still not known precisely.
IgE
Monomeric in nature and least amounts are present. Responsible for allergic reactions. Present in
skin and lungs. Do not fix complement. Effective against parasites in the body. Commonly
related to diseases like asthma.

Allele of the antibody chains is termed as allotype..
The document discusses the lymphatic system and antibodies. It describes the five main types of antibodies (immunoglobulins): IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. For each type, it provides details on their molecular weight, serum concentration, distribution in the body, and main functions. It also briefly discusses immunomodulators and cytokines, noting that cytokines signal the immune system and affect growth of blood cells, while chemokines help immune cells move toward targets.
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are glycoproteins produced by plasma cells that recognize and bind to specific antigens like bacteria and viruses. Antibodies have a Y-shaped structure consisting of two heavy chains and two light chains connected by disulfide bonds. There are five main classes of antibodies - IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE - which differ based on their heavy chains. Antibodies have variable regions that recognize antigens and constant regions involved in effector functions. The major classes are IgG, the most abundant antibody in serum; IgA, found in secretions; and IgM, the first antibody produced during infection.
- Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are Y-shaped proteins that the immune system uses to identify and neutralize foreign objects like viruses and bacteria. They recognize and bind to a unique molecule on the pathogen called an antigen.
- Antibodies are made up of two pairs of polypeptide chains called light and heavy chains that form a flexible Y shape. The variable regions at the ends of the Y determine what antigen the antibody binds to.
- There are five major classes of antibodies - IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, and IgD - that have different structures and functions like defending against pathogens in the blood or mucous membranes. IgG is the most common antibody found in
This document summarizes the key features of the five classes of antibodies (immunoglobulins): IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE. It describes their structure (monomer, dimer, pentamer), percentage in serum, locations, half-lives, ability to activate complement, placental transfer, and known functions such as enhancing phagocytosis, neutralizing pathogens, and mediating allergic reactions. IgG is the most abundant antibody and has subclasses with varying abilities to activate complement and bind Fc receptors. IgM is the first antibody produced during infection. IgA provides protection to mucosal surfaces. IgD and IgE have more specialized roles in initiating immune responses and allergies,
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are Y-shaped proteins produced by B cells in response to antigens. They have two identical light chains and two identical heavy chains connected by disulfide bonds. There are five classes of heavy chains that determine the antibody class: IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, and IgE. IgG is the most abundant antibody and provides long-term immunity. IgM is the first antibody produced during initial infection. Secretory IgA protects mucosal surfaces. IgE mediates allergic reactions. Monoclonal antibodies are derived from a single clone of B cells and target a specific epitope.
There are five main types of antibodies (immunoglobulins) in the human body: IgG, IgA, IgM, IgE, and IgD. Each has a distinct heavy chain structure that determines its location and function. IgG is the most abundant and circulates in the bloodstream. IgA is found in secretions. IgM is large and pentameric, activating the complement system. IgE mediates allergic reactions. IgD's function is unknown. The types vary in properties like half-life, complement activation, and role in immune responses.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

01 What is Non-IgG Antibody
03
02 Introduction to IgA
04
Introduction to IgD Introduction to IgE
05 Introduction to IgM 06 Related Services & Products
4. Immunoglobulin (Ig), also known as antibody (Ab),
functions as part of the immune system to identify
and neutralize foreign objects such as pathogenic
bacteria and viruses. The antigen-binding sites at
both tips of the antibody come in an equally wide
variety, and the remainder of the antibody is
relatively constant. It only occurs in a few variants,
which define the antibody's class or isotype: IgA,
IgD, IgE, IgG, or IgM.
Introduction to Immunoglobulins
5. IgA is the predominant antibody in mucous
secretions such as saliva, tears, milk and intestinal
juice. It is involved in preventing pathogens from
entering through mucosal barriers. It can be found
in a monomeric or dimeric form.
IgA
IgD
Found predominantly on the surface of B-cells, it
has a similar structure to IgG, but with an extended
hinge region that is very susceptible to proteolytic
digestion.
IgE
IgE has two additional constant domains in place
of the hinge region. It plays an important role in
defense against parasites, and is also a key
mediator of Type I hypersensitivity reactions or
allergies.
IgM
IgM is the predominant antibody in the primary
immune response, which can present as a
pentamer or hexamer in solution and as a
monomer on the surface of B-cells.
Introduction to Non-IgG Antibody
7. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is an antibody that plays a crucial role in the immune function of mucous
membranes. IgA mainly exists in the form of dimers in secretions, and sIgA is formed by the
polymerization of two or more IgA monomers. A typical sIgA is mainly composed of two IgA
monomers, a J chain, and a secretory component.
Introduction to IgA
➢ Molecular weight: 320,000 (secretory)
➢ H-chain type (MW): alpha (55,000)
➢ Serum concentration: 1 to 4 mg/mL
➢ Percent of total immunoglobulin: 10-20%
➢ Glycosylation (by weight): 10%
➢ Distribution: intravascular and secretions
➢ Function: protect mucus membranes
8. Classification of IgA
IgA1:IgA1 is dominant in serum, accounting for 85% of the
total IgA concentration in serum. IgA1 shows broad
resistance to several proteases, but some can affect or splice
on the hinge region. IgA1 shows a good immune response to
protein antigens, but a low degree of immune response to
polysaccharides and lipopolysaccharides.
IgA2:IgA2 accounts for only 15% of the total IgA in serum,
and it mainly exists in the mucous membranes of the airways,
eyes, and gastrointestinal tract to combat polysaccharides
and lipopolysaccharide antigens. It also shows excellent
resistance to proteolysis and many bacterial proteases, and
plays an important role in fighting bacterial infections.

11. Immunoglobulin D (IgD) is an antibody synthesized late in the ontogeny. It is composed of two light (L)
chains and two heavy (H) chains. The heavy chain and the light chain are connected by disulfide bonds,
forming a conformation similar to the shape of the letter Y.
Introduction to IgD
➢ Molecular weight: 180,000
➢ H-chain type (MW): delta (70,000)
➢ Serum concentration: 3 to 40 μg/mL
➢ Percent of total immunoglobulin: 0.25%
➢ Glycosylation (by weight): 13%
➢ Distribution: lymphocyte surface
12. Secreted IgD exists and plays an elusive
function in blood, mucosal secretions, and on
the surface of innate immune effector cells. IgD
apparently is also able to bind to basophils and
mast cells and activate these cells to produce
antimicrobial factors that are functional in
respiratory immune defence in humans.
Functions of Secreted IgD
IgD secretion enhances mucosal immune surveillance. [1]
[1] Gutzeitet C; et al. The enigmatic function of IgD: some answers at last[J]. Eur. J. Immunol., 2018, 48(7): 1101-1113.
14. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is an antibody that has been found only in mammals. IgE primarily defends against
parasitic invasion and is responsible for allergic reactions. Monomers of IgE consist of two heavy chains (ε chains)
and two light chains, with the ε chain containing 4 Ig-like constant domains (Cε1-Cε4).
Introduction to IgE
Picture from WikiVet
➢ Molecular weight: 200,000
➢ H-chain type (MW): epsilon (73,000)
➢ Serum concentration: 10 to 400 ng/mL
➢ Percent of total immunoglobulin: 0.002%
➢ Glycosylation (by weight): 12%
➢ Distribution: basophils and mast cells in
saliva and nasal secretions
➢ Function: protect against parasites
15. Function of IgE

The role of IgE in the context of IgE-mediated allergy.[1]
17. Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is the largest antibody that is produced by the immune system of vertebrates. It can
attack against a wide variety of antigens and take part in many steps of the primary and adaptive humoral
immune response. The predominant form of IgM in human serum is pentamer which is composed of five
monomers connected with the joining-(J) chain.
Introduction to IgM
Pictures from Wikipedia
➢ Molecular weight: 900,000
➢ H-chain type (MW): mu (65,000)
➢ Serum concentration: 0.5 to 2 mg/mL
➢ Percent of total immunoglobulin: 10%
➢ Glycosylation (by weight): 12%
➢ Distribution: mostly intravascular
➢ Function: primary response
