Immunoglobulin Profile, Serum

Immunity is a word that we all are probably familiar with today. Our immune system works as a pathway in our body to protect us from harmful microbes. It recognizes the chaotic element in our body like viruses and bacteria. It takes action immediately against all odds. A protein called immunoglobulin plays a crucial role in doing that. It is produced by plasma in our blood. Immunoglobulin majorly has three types- IgG, IgM, and IgA that reach the end. When the system doesn’t work well it can be a major concern for your health. Your body will not be able to fight off viruses and bacteria; this may result in infection with severe health conditions. Immunoglobulin helps to keep your immunity balanced.
