need to know Immunoglobulin functions ?

[dentalstudent2021]

just curious if we need to know immunoglobulin functions. many threads on it just mention to know the names but not their functions. I know what Ig's do in general but not each of its specific role.

Thanks

The Destroyer has a few questions on the functions of each of these proteins. That should be enough for the DAT

Hope this helps..

I took my dat today there was actually a question regarding the role of a specific Immunoglobulin.

I memorized them quite quickly by associating a scenario for each one according to their name:

IgM: I imagined someone saying "MINEE" and rushing to some place to claim something. (IgM: are usually first responders)
IgG: "Ginormous"(IgG is most abundant so i just associated being large to having a lot of something)
IgE: "Allergieeeeeeeeeee" (IgE bind to allergens etc)
IgA: "Waaaaaaa" I imagined someone crying and just exaggerated the aaaa part in my head. (IgA is in tears/mucosal lining)
IgD: D sounds like B. (IgD is found on surface of B cells)

I know some of these are stupid haha but it helped me memorize it super quickly.
