IMMUNOGLOBULIN VS THEIR TYPES, EXAMPLE
1.IgG-
*IgG antibodies are very important in fighting bacterial and viral infections.
*it is large in number
*it can pass through the placenta
*Normal Ranges Adult: IgG 6.0 - 16.0g/L
*Example - it is found in all body fluids, present in blood and tissue fluids
2.IgM -
It is the largest antibody, and it is the first antibody to appear in the response to initial exposure to an antigen.
*it is large in size
*Normal Ranges of IgM 0.4 - 2.5g/L.
*example - in blood and lymph fluid
3.IgA -
*it is an antibody that plays a crucial role in the immune function of mucous membranes.
*it is the first line of defence in the resistance against infection, via inhibiting bacterial and viral adhesion to epithelial cells and by neutralisation of bacterial toxins and virus, both extra- and intracellularly
*Normal Ranges - 80 – 350 mg/dL
*Example -
IgA is found in mucous membranes, especially in the respiratory and digestive tracts. It is also found in saliva, tears, and breast milk
4.IgD-
a monomeric antibody isotype that is expressed in the plasma membranes of immature B-lymphocytes.
*it helps in differentiation of B lymphocytes
*Normal Ranges 0.2-121 mg/liter
*Example - found in small amounts in blood serum
5.IgE-
IT is a type of antibody that has been found only in mammals
*if you have an allergy, your immune system overreacts to an allergen by producing antibodies called Immunoglobulin E (IgE)
*it is found in hypersensitivity or allergic reaction
*Normal Ranges - 150 to 1,000 UI/ml
*Example - found in the lungs, skin, and mucous membranes.
