Which antibody is produced first during an infection? What causes it to switch to a different type?
Adi S.
For questions 14–17, note the antibody class described (IgA, IgE, IgG, or IgM). The first class of antibodies produced
Primary response Secondary response Select the statements that correctly describe the primary and secondary humoral immune responses. The IgM antibody is the primary antibody produced after reexposure to an antigen. The IgM and IgG antibody titers peak more than 10 days after the initial exposure to an antigen. The IgG antibody titer peaks and remains elevated during the secondary response. The IgG antibody titer is the first antibody titer to peak during the primary response.
