Biochem/physiol Actions

IgG activates the classical pathway of the complement system. It neutralizes virus particles and toxins. IgG plays a pivotal role in antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and phagocytosis. It might be linked to allergy and has the longest serum half life.

IgG antibody subtype is the most abundant of serum immunoglobulins of the immune system. It is secreted by B cells and is found in blood and extracellular fluids and provides protection from infections caused by bacteria, fungi and viruses. Maternal IgG is transferred to fetus through the placenta that is vital for immune defense of the neonate against infections.
