It appears... that T-ind antigens do not usually induce the maturation of a response involving class switching to IgG... Isotype switching from IgM to IgD is not a random event... Switching to IgA or IgE also occurs and cells producing these isotypes are concentrated in the appropriate mucosal areas... although there is universal agreement that T cells are important in controlling this phenomenon, the signals which control the switch are less well understood. 1, record 6, English, - switching
