The first antibody deployed in an immune response a pentameric giant that sacrifices precision for speed and reach.
The Science of IgM
IgM is the largest antibody class, formed as a pentamer of five IgG-like units joined by a J chain and disulfide bonds. Its ten antigen-binding sites make it exceptionally effective at agglutinating pathogens and activating the complement cascade before the slower, higher-affinity IgG response has time to mature. IgM is the first immunoglobulin secreted by naive B cells upon antigen encounter, and elevated serum IgM is a clinical marker of acute or recent infection.
