Answer 27

IgM

Question 28

Where is IgA found?

Answer 28

SAliva, TeArs (body secretions)

Question 29

What is the role of IgD?

Answer 29

Don’t know! But it is present on B cell surface.

Question 30

What is the role of IgE?

Answer 30

Thing allerg-EE! (IgE)
Allergic response by mediating release of histamines from mast cells.
Type I hypersensitivity

Question 31

What is the role of IgA?

Answer 31

Since you know this is found in body secretions, it’s primary role is defense against LOCAL infections at the MUCOSAL surface.
