a typical monomeric molecules has 3 globular regions
IgG
monomeric (blood)
Serum IgA
Dimeric (secretory organs)
Secretory IgA
Type of antibody which gives protection especially gastrointestinal infections to the breastfeeding infants
IgA
2 Fab regions and Fc portion; Linked by a flexible hinge region
IgG
What enzyme is responsible for the digestion of molecules to split into 3 equal portions?
Papain
Pepsin forms what
2 Fab and Fc
Represents the state of immunity
IgG
Pentamere; largest and first antibody produced
IgM
More efficient than IgG in complement cascade activation and agglutination
IgM
Is monomeric; least antibodies; Surfaces of Mature B Cells
IgD
the IgD antibody is consist of how many daltons?
184,000 daltons
A monomer than can bind to mast cells and basophils
IgE
Responsible for inflammation and allergic reactions; Found the least in serum concentration
