You really only need to know:
- IgG antibodies can cross the placenta, providing natural, passive immunity to babies.
- IgE antibodies are involved in allergic reactions.

Awesome, thanks. That cuts down my needing to know information yeah. so i can skip all the other types of antibodies. i really hate bio in this case where its so hard to know what you actually need to know and what you don't need to know.
