Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following are all classes of immunoglobulins?
A
Ig A, Ig D, Ig E, Ig G, Ig M
B
Ig A, Ig C, Ig E, Ig G, Ig N
C
Ig A, Ig D, Ig E, Ig H, Ig G
D
Ig A, Ig B, Ig E, Ig G, Ig M
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The five primary classes of immunoglobulins are IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE. These are distinguished by the type of heavy chain found in the molecule. IgG molecules have heavy chains known as gamma-chains; IgMs have mu-chains; IgAs have alpha-chains; IgEs have epsilon-chains; and IgDs have delta-chains.

Detailed explanation-2: -IgG is composed of four subclasses: IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 [1-9]. The structure, genetics, and function of the IgG subclasses are reviewed in this section.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are five immunoglobulin classes (isotypes) of antibody molecules found in serum: IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE, and IgD. They are distinguished by the type of heavy chain they contain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Immunoglobulin E is one of the five classes of immunoglobulins (IgM, IgG, IgD, IgA, IgE). IgE has a unique chemical structure and an array of physiological functions, such as Type I hypersensitivity reactions, parasitic infections, autoimmune processes, and venom protection.
