Question #1
Which type of antibody is predominantly found in mucosal secretions, such as saliva, tears, and breast milk, providing localized immunity?
A. IgG
B. IgE
C. IgA
D. IgM

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the primary antibody found in mucosal secretions, including saliva, tears, nasal secretions, breast milk (colostrum), and the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. It plays a crucial role in mucosal immunity by preventing the attachment of pathogens to epithelial cells, a process known as immune exclusion.
