20 Class switching During an immune response, B cells can replace an upstream C domain with a downstream C domain class-switching B cells can thus produce IgG, IgA or IgE with the same antigen specificity as the original IgM

21 Class Switching Occurs by gene rearrangement Mediated by AID instead of RAG Involves non-homologous recombination between a pair of switch sites rather than pairs of RSS The switch sites are composed of multiple nucleotide repeats Transcription of the switch site is required Initiation of transcription is driven by T cell cytokines (e.g., IL-4 drives IgE and IgG4 in human) L V DJ Cµ Cδ C γ3 C γ1 C α1 C γ2 C γ4 C α2 Cε 5' 3' Sµ S γ3 S γ1 S α1 S γ2 S γ4 S α2 Sε

23 Effector Functions Typically Inflammatory Reactions Complement Fixation Complement Activation Binding to Fc Receptors Basophils Monocytes Platelets

24 IgM First Ig to be produced Can exist as a monomer or a pentamer Excellent for agglutination, complement activation

25 IgG bound to FcRn Igs can function as the antigen binding component for many receptors and signal transduction proteins on many types of cells B cells, membrane Ig binds Igα and Igβ Granulocytes, secretory Ig binds Fc receptors

26 Effector functions of human isotypes Igs can kill in one of two ways: ADCC (antibody dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, Fc receptor driven Complement lysis

27 IgA Major Ig class in secretions, critical to mucosal immunity Can exist as a monomer or dimer Transported by means of secretory component
