Why does the body make five different classes of immunoglobulin?

The body produces five different classes of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE) to perform distinct functions in the immune system. Each class has unique properties that enable the immune system to effectively respond to various types of pathogens and foreign invaders. This diversity allows the immune system to mount a versatile and adaptable defense against infections.
