Summary Introduction

To review:

The five classes of immunoglobulins (Ig). Also give the name of the one that is most likely to be attached to a B (lymphocytes maturing in the bone marrow) cell membrane, abundant in the plasma, important in allergic responses, the first Ig released during primary response and crosses the placental barrier.

Introduction:

Immunoglobulins or antibodies are grouped into five isotypes that differ in the type of heavy chain present. These make a part of the humoral immunity under the adaptive or specific immune system of the body.

Which type of MHC-class molecule is found on all nucleated cells and is used to communicate with cytotoxic T-lymphocytes? Which classes are displayed on APCs, and which class is used specifically to communicate with (a) helper T-lymphocytes and (b) cytotoxic T-lymphocytes?
