Primary and secondary Immune responses The primary immune responses occurs on initial contract with a foreign and results in production of immunoglobulin M(gM) and then immunoglobulin G (IgG). If the same antigens encountered again, immuno logical memory leads to a secondary immune responses that produces a much more rapid and larger increase in specific IgG production
Primary and secondary immune responses • The primary immune responses occurs on initial contract with a foreign and results in production of immunoglobulin M (lgM) and then immunoglobulin G (lgG). If the same antigens encountered again, immunological memory leads to a secondary immune responses that produces a much more rapid and larger increase in specific IgG production
Structure of Immunoglobulin M Constant regions Variable reglons Disulphide bonds

Clonal selection theory A large number of antibody-producing cells exist in an animal even before it encounters a foreign antigen, each cell producing only one specific antibody and displaying this on its cell surface. An antigen binds to cells that display antibodies with appropriate binding sites and causes proliferation of those cells to form clones of cells secreting the same anti body in high concentration

Self-tolerance Cells that produce antibody that reacts with normal body com ponents are killed early in fetal life so that the adult animal normally is unable to make antibodies against self, a condition called self-tolerance
