Production
of Immunoglobulins -2
Initiation of humoral immune response:
esynthesis and
secretion of antigen-specific antibodies such as:
Uantibodies or
secreted immunoglobulins
-are free in
body fluids
-they are
bifunctional in that:
1.they are able
to bind antigen with variable
region as do sIgs.
2.they are able
to trigger various class-specific
biologic activities and
this is a unique function of the constant region
