IgM antibodies are much more efficient than IgG at activating the complement cascade. However, under certain circumstances, IgG antibodies will activate the complement pathway. One example of a situation in which IgG binding to its antigen will not trigger the complement cascade is when the IgG antibodies are neutralizing a bacterial toxin protein by blocking the receptor-attachment site on the toxin. the IgG antibodies are binding self-antigens, such as chromatin released from dead cells. the IgG antibodies bind to a bacterial surface by recognizing a repetitive polysaccharide component of the bacterial capsule. the IgG antibodies bind to a viral capsid protein that is present in more than 100 copies on the viral particle surface.

Immunology

Immunology is the division of science involved with the immune reactions occurring in living organisms. The organisms are accustomed to evolving internal defense mechanisms to evade the invasion of microbial pathogens. Diverse cells are connected with stimulating the immune responses, which produce inhospitable conditions to the microbes prompting their lysis and thus inhibits the multiplication of the pathogens. The immune system can distinguish the pathogens through the aid of cellular intercommunication and launch responses to destroy them.
