Expert Solution

Step 1

Immunoglobulins are the antibodies, that are glycoprotein molecules produced by plasma cells (white blood cells). They act as a part of the immune response by specifically recognizing and binding to particular antigens, such as bacteria or viruses, and aiding in their destruction. The antibody immune response is very complex and specific. The various immunoglobulin classes and subclasses (isotypes) differ in their features, structure, target, distribution and specificity. Hence, the immunoglobulin isotypes can provide useful insight into complex humoral immune response.
