Immunoglobulin

What do we mean by immunoglobulin?

Any of a group of large glycoproteins that are secreted by plasma cells and that function as antibodies in the immune response by binding with specific antigens. There are five classes of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. noun

Any one of a class of globular proteins which are antibodies and are produced by the immune system in animals. noun

Any of the glycoproteins in blood serum that respond to invasion by foreign antigens and that protect the host by removing pathogens; an antibody. noun

A class of proteins produced in lymph tissue in vertebrates and that function as antibodies in the immune response noun

Any of the glycoproteins in blood serum that respond to invasion by foreign antigens and that protect the host by removing pathogens; an antibody.

Proteins that specifically recognize and help combat viruses, bacteria, and other invaders of the body. Immunoglobulins are made by cells of the immune system called B lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. Urban Dictionary

A class of antibodies found in the body. IgG immunoglobulins are the only antibodies that are able to cross to the placenta. The IgG antibody exists as a single monomeric form and is incredibly important in the body's immune response - especially in cell recognition, opsonization, and complement activation.
