Function of Immunoglobulins
Immunoglobulins, which are also known as antibodies, areglycoprotein molecules that are produced by plasma cells, alsoknown as white blood cells. Immunoglobulins have variousdifferent classes and subclasses which differ in many featuressuch as structure, target speci�city and distribution. Theseantibodies are a crucial part of the immune response. Theyspeci�cally recognize and bind to particular antigens such asbacteria and viruses to help destroy or neutralize them.
Location of Immunoglobulins
There are 5 subclasses of immunoglobulins and they are allfound in different places. Immunoglobulin A is found in themucous membranes, such as the lining of the respiratorypassages and the gastrointestinal tract, but is also found insaliva and tears. Immunoglobulin G, which is the mostabundant type of antibody, is found in all body �uids.Immunoglobulin M is found in the blood and lymph �uid.Immunoglobulin E is found in the lungs, skin, and mucousmembranes. And �nally, there is Immunoglobulin D, which isthe least understood antibody, exits in small amounts in theblood.

Importance of Immunoglobulins
Immunoglobulins are responsible for �ghting off infection inthe body and regulating the immune system. When bonded toother cells, it can have an effect on the control of regenerationof tissue, the in�ammatory process, and the nervous system.Important for the communication between the immune
system and nervous system, coagulation of blood and thevascular system.
Creating Immunoglobulins inVitro
Researchers have recently been able to create speci�cantibodies in vitro. They treat patient derived B cells with aDNA fragment that triggers it and helps it to start developinginto plasma cell. It is then treated with the appropriateantigen, turning it into the correct antibody. This developmentwill allow for production of antibodies in vitro in a shorteramount of time without the need for a blood donation frominfected donors, and can lead to the rapid development ofvaccines by allowing the ef�cient evaluation of potentialantibodies.
