Antibodies come in several types:

• IgA: 10–15% – found in mucous membranes, tears, saliva and breast milk, protects the body from external threats

• IgG: 75–80% – found in body fluids, fights bacterial and viral infections

• IgM: 5–10% – first antibodies upon infection, helps eliminate antigen

• IgE: responsible for allergic reactions, found in mucous membranes, lungs and skin

• IgD: activates B cells and is found in small amounts in the abdomen and chest

With this figure you can understand how the immune system works , while having a fun and educational collectible figure !
