IgM
Explanation: Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is an antibody produced as an immediate defense during the early stages of an infection. It is found primarily in the blood and lymph fluid, forming a rapid response against invading pathogens. High levels of IgM often indicate a recent or active infection, while low levels may suggest immunodeficiency.
Test Purpose:
- High IgM can point to ongoing infections, or autoimmune diseases.
- Differentiate recent infections (high IgM) from past infections (when IgG levels typically rise).
