In tears, IgA would be the one mainly present -- maybe IgG, not sure though

As u must know there are 5 classes of Immunoglobulins in our body that are IgG ,IgA ,Igm, IGd,IG e. IgG is the most abundant immunoglobulin class in the serum.Of the two IgA subclasses, IgA1 is the predominant subclass of IgA in human serum. IgA1 is the dominant subclass in all external secretions, including milk, saliva, tears, and bronchial fluids.The percentage of subclass IgA2 is higher in these fluids than in serum.
