What else can I help you with?
Which antibody is a dimer?
IgA
Which antibody is present in sebum?
antibody IgA is found in sebum
What is the predominant antibody in mucus and saliva and tears and milk?
IgA
What type of antibody is inflexible igG igM igA igD or igE?
Ig A
The antibody type that is made in the greatest concentration upon a second challenge by an Ag include?
IgA
What class of antibodies is mainly found in sweat tears breast milk and GI secretions?
IgA antibody, found in mucous membrane secretions, mother's breast milk, etc.
Which antibody class neutralizes viruses in the intestinal tract?
I would assume IgA class antibodies. The intestinal tract is lined with mucous membranes and the IgA class is primarily secreted through mucous.
What is IgA?
IgA is an antibody that plays a crucial role in the immune system's defense against infections. It is primarily found in mucosal areas such as the digestive tract, respiratory system, and genitourinary tract. IgA helps to neutralize pathogens and prevent them from entering the body.
What are the classes of antibodies?
There are five immunoglobulin classes (isotypes) of antibody molecules found in serum: IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, and IgD. IgA (immunoglobulin A) IgD (immunoglobulin D) IgE (immunoglobulin E) IgG (immunoglobulin G) IgM (immunoglobulin M)
Does an antigen cause an allergic reaction?
Only if the person is already allergic to that antigen. Not if they are immune to the antigen. The word antigen refers to the protein that joins with the antibody. If the antibody is of the allergic type (IgE) then an allergic reaction will happen and if the antibody is of the immune type (IgG, IgM or IgA) then there won't be an allergic reaction.
Which immunoglobulin is present in blood and respiratory secretions?
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the primary antibody found in blood and respiratory secretions. It plays a crucial role in mucosal immunity, providing a first line of defense against pathogens in mucosal areas such as the respiratory tract. IgA exists in two forms: serum IgA, found in the bloodstream, and secretory IgA, which is present in mucosal secretions like saliva, tears, and respiratory fluids.
What antibody is produced in a reaction to an allergen?
The antibody is specific to the antigen (allergen). Different antibodies are produced at different times of exposure (IgM=acute; IgG=longterm) or in different systems of the body (IgA is produced in the gut).
