Part C

True or False? 🤔

1. IgG is the first antibody produced in a primary response.
2. IgM is the most efficient class at activating classical complement.
3. All IgG subclasses cross the placenta equally well.
4. An antibody can have both kappa and lambda chains simultaneously.
5. IgE is the most heat-labile of all immunoglobulins.
6. IgA activates complement through the classical pathway.
7. IgM is a pentamer in serum but a monomer on B cells.
8. IgG3 is the subclass with the highest serum concentration.
9. Idiotypes refer to variations within the same species.
10. Measuring IgM is useful for diagnosing an acute infection.
