what is isotype switching?



what is isotype switching?..

Answer / Jayram Kumar

Isotype switching refers to the process by which B cells can switch from producing one class of antibody (isotype) to another while maintaining the same antigen specificity. This allows the immune system to adapt its response to different stages and types of infections, as different isotypes have varying functions such as activating complement or providing localized immunity.
