Abstract
- Immunoglobulins and IgE
Antibodies are glycoprotein molecules which are produced by plasma cells in response to an immunogen (1). They belong to a class of spherical proteins called globulins and are hence known as immunoglobulins (Igs). Their primary function is to mediate the host immune response by binding to antigens.
