Classesofimmunoglobulin
Differences:
• NumberofbasicsubunitswhichformtheAb• Thepolypep&desequenceintheheavychainconstantregionsaredifferent,givingdifferentfunc&onalcharacteris&cs
Classesofimmunoglobulin.
1. IgM - Mu (µ) heavy chains
2. IgG - Gamma (γ) heavy chains
3. IgA - Alpha (α) heavy chains
4. IgD - Delta (δ) heavy chains
5. IgE - Epsilon (ε) heavy chains
Subclassesofimmunoglobulin.
• IgG Subclasses: IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4
• IgA subclasses: IgA1 and IgA2
• No subclasses of IgM, IgD, and IgE

IgA
• IgA 2 subclasses α1, α2 heavy chains
• 10-15% of normal serum Ig
• In human serum mainly monomeric (above 80%)
• Subclasses IgA1 and IgA2
• Predominant Ig in secretions eg. saliva and colostrum and in the gut where it is present as a dimer of two Ig monomers one J chain and one secretory component polypeptide.
• Life span: 6 days

Summary:
By the end you will be able to answer these questions
• What is antibody? • Draw and describe the structure of Ab? • Compare between Ab classes?
• What are the function of Ab?
