Discussion
The class of an immunoglobulin
Answer: D
Correct answer: is determined by the heavy chain type
The five heavy chain types - mu, gamma, alpha, delta and epsilon - define IgM, IgG, IgA, IgD and IgE respectively. The light chain, kappa or lambda, is independent of class and is used to describe the antibody’s type rather than its class. Neither the antigen nor the major histocompatibility complex has any part in determining it.
