Antibodies or immunoglobulins are formed by plasma cells as a humoral immune response to antigens. The first antibodies formed after antigen stimulation are of the IgM class, followed later by IgG and IgA antibodies. IgD normally occurs in serum in trace amounts. Increased serum immunoglobulin concentrations occur due to polyclonal or oligoclonal immunoglobulin proliferation in hepatic diseases (chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis), acute and chronic infections, autoimmune diseases, as well as in the cord blood of neonates with intrauterine and perinatal infections. Increases in serum immunoglobulin concentration are seen in monoclonal gammopathies such as multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, primary amyloidosis, and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. Decreased serum immunoglobulin concentrations occur in primary immunodeficiency conditions as well as in secondary immune insufficiencies including advanced monoclonal gammopathies, lymphatic leukemia, and advanced malignant tumors. Changes in IgD concentration are used as a marker of changes in the size of the clone of monoclonal IgD plasma cells. The physiologic significance of serum IgD concentration is unclear and in many normal persons serum IgD is undetectable. Increased concentrations may be due to polyclonal (reactive) or monoclonal plasma cell proliferative processes. A monoclonal IgD protein is present in 1% of patients with myeloma. Monoclonal IgD proteins are often in low concentrations...

By Dr. Sanchari Sinha Dutta, Ph.D. Reviewed by Antibodies are glycoproteins, termed as immunoglobulins (Igs), which are produced in response to an immune reaction and specifically bind to Designua | Shutterstock Antibody structure An antibody is composed of two heavy chains (50 KD each) and two light chains (25 KD each), which are joined by disulfide bonds to form a ‘Y’ shaped structure (150 KD). Antibodies are further divided into two regions: a variable region and a constant region. The variable region is responsible for the antigenic specificity of an antibody. This region includes a fragment antigen binding (Fab) portion that binds the antigen with high specificity. There are two Fab portions in each antibody, which can simultaneously bind two identical epitopes (a specific antibody-binding site of an antigen) of a particular antigen. The constant region of an antibody includes a fragment crystallization (Fc) portion that binds cell surface receptors (Fc receptors) on circulating WBCs, macrophages, and natural killer cells. This binding is necessary to initiate an immune reaction. In addition, there are two hinge regions that join the Fab and Fc portions of an antibody. What are the types of antibodies? IgG This isoform accounts for 70–75% of all human immunoglobulins found in the blood. Depending on the size of the hinge region, the position of disulfide bonds, and the molecular weight of the antibody, IgG can be further divided into 4 subclasses: IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, an...

• Immunoglobulin D (IgD) is a unique immunoglobulin with a low concentration in serum and the exact function of which is not known. • IgD represents about 0.25% of the total serum immunoglobulins and has a relative molecular mass of 185 kDa while a half-life of 2.8 days, similar to that of IgE. • However, it makes up about 1% of proteins in the plasma membranes of • The co-expression is found on the surface of majority of B cells.

Structure of IgD IgD is an immunoglobulin similar in structure to other immunoglobulin classes. It is composed of heavy and light polypeptide chains, has a sedimentation coefficient of approximately 7S, and can be fragmented into Fab and Fc fragments. • Secreted IgD is a glycoprotein produced as a monomeric antibody with two identical heavy chains of the delta (δ) class, and two identical Ig light chains. • The structure has two identical antigen binding areas consisting of both light and heavy chains and a valency of 2. Heavy and light chains have variable regions on their most N terminal ends. • IgD on the surface of B cells has extra amino acids at C-terminal end for anchoring to the membrane. It also associates with the Ig-alpha and Ig-beta chains. • Heavy and light chains are subdivide...

Immunoglobulin D ( IgD) is an Function [ ] The function of IgD has been a puzzle in immunology since its discovery in 1964. IgD is present in species from cartilaginous fish to humans (with the possible exception of birds). In [ citation needed] IgD was found to bind to [ citation needed] Structural diversity [ ] IgD has structural diversity throughout evolution of vertebrates because it is a structurally flexible locus to complement the function of IgM. One of the important features of IgD is that it can substitute for the function of IgM in the case of IgM defects.

IgD is also produced in a secreted form that is found in small amounts in blood serum. Secreted IgD is made up of two heavy chains of the delta class, and two light chains. IgD's function has long been a conundrum and is still incompletely understood. IgD is present in species ranging from fish to human (probably with the exception of birds), indicating that IgD has been preserved since its ancient origins which suggests that IgD has important immunological functions. It is known that IgD signals for B cells to be activated in order for them to participate in the immune defence. Apparently IgM and IgD share this role, with IgM being expressed sooner in the life-cycle of B-cells than IgD. It is not well under...
