Question
The following constitutes approximately 75% of total immunoglobulins in humans:
Explanation
IgG dominates humoral immunity, constituting about 75% of serum immunoglobulins with four subclasses providing systemic long-lived defense. Small monomeric structure allows extravascular distribution and placental transfer. High affinity, complement activation and opsonization underlie its protective role, while predominance makes total immunoglobulin levels largely reflect IgG concentrations.
