Antibodies are glycoproteins (immunoglobulins) produced by B lymphocytes and plasma cells. They are the central effector molecules of specific humoral immunity. Antibodies can directly eliminate pathogens or pathogen components.

Antibody isotypes (immunoglobulins) belong to different classes: A, D, E, G, M.

The different Ig classes have different tissue distributions and functions.
