What is Functions and Types of Immunoglobulins about?

Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, are Y-shaped proteins that have four polypeptide chains connected by disulfide bonds and a hinge region. They function to bind to antigens and carry out effector functions like complement fixation. The structure of immunoglobulins allows for their function and variation. The five major classes are IgM, IgE, IgD, IgG, and IgA, which differ in location, amount, function, and comments. IgM is the first to react to infection while IgE mediates allergic reactions. Littl
