Hello students, in the given question we have asking about why the serum containing type g immunoglobulins is routinely used and why not m immunoglobulins are considered for the same purpose and the possible reasons for the given rationale is abundance and the effectiveness of igg.
00:37
The igg immunoglobulins are most abundant type of antibodies in the bloodstream making it approximately 75 to 80 % of all immunoglobulins.
01:06
They are highly effective in providing passive immunity as they have longer shelf life and can persist in a bloodstream for several weeks to the month as compared to other immunoglobulins.
02:02
This longer duration of igg provides sustainable protection against pathogen for longer period of time.
02:33
Second point is wide range of pathogen coverage.
02:55
The igg antibodies have ability to recognize and bind to wide range of pathogen.
03:24
They can neutralize this including virus, bacteria and other microorganisms.
03:42
They can neutralize this pathogen and prevent them from infecting cell.
03:57
On the other hand, third point is placental transfer.
04:09
As the igg immunoglobulin gene can cross placenta, it is widely used...
