Immunoglobulin M
a pentamer with 10 antigen-bonding sites, is the predominant class of antibody produced first during a primary humoral response.
-
Immunoglobulin G
the predominant antibody found in the blood stream and is largely responsible for defense against invading bacteria - can cross a placenta to protect the fetus.
-
Immunoglobulin A
Two molecules attached via J chains and a polypeptide secretory component to produce secretory immunoglobulin A, which is found in milk, tears, and mucous membrane secretions.
-
Immunoglobulin E
triggers inflammation and allergic reactions. It also functions during helminth infections.
-
Immunoglobulin D
is found in cytoplasmic membranes of some animals
-
Interleukins
signal leukocytes, though cells other than leukocytes may also use interleukins.
-
Interferons
antiviral proteins that may also act as cytokines.
-
Growth factors
proteins that stimulate leukocyte stem cells to divide, ensuring that the body is supplied with sufficient white blood cells of all types.
-
Tumor necrosis factor
Macrophages and T cells secrete TNF to kill tumor cells and to regulate immune responses and inflammation.
-
Chemokines
chemotactic cytokines that signal leukocytes to move – for example, to rush to the site of inflammation or infection, or to move within tissues.
