摘要: During a primary immune response generally two classes of antibody are produced, immunoglobulin M (IgM) and G (IgG). It is currently thought that some lymphocytes which initially produce IgM switch to the production IgG with same specificity for antigen. secondary predominant made throughout response. In this paper we address question why such apparently complicated modes should have been adapted by evolution.
