Question

The five classes of immunoglobulin differ in ….

Select one:

None of the above

Ability to bind various classes of antigens (viral, bacterial etc)

Make up of the heavy and light chains

Rate of mutation in the variable domain (i.e. speed at which each class can respond to a new antigen)

Size of the variable domain

Expert Solution

Step 1

Immunoglobulins are the antibodies that are produced from B-lymphocytes of plasma cells. Immunoglobulins are Y-shaped proteins that are used to identify foreign particulars and produce an immune response by recognizing and binding to the antigen and destroying them. Immunoglobulins cause opsonization and immune hemolysis.
