Answer:

The first immunoglobulin to arrive is M, IgM

Explanation:

Immunoglobulins are the molecules that intervene in defense against microorganisms, foreign cells and against substances that can cause allergies. They are also known as antibodies. IgM is specific and is the first antibody that appears in primary infections, so its value and quantity is very important to diagnose an infection.
