The person would have problems defending themselves against parasitic worm infections as well as lacking an immediate allergic response. The IgE antibody is responsible for immediate allergic response and protection against certain parasitic worms. The compliment is activated by the IgG antibody. The IgA antibody prevents pathogens from attaching to epithelial cells. The IgM antibody is responsible for clumping cells. The presence of the IgD antibody signifies the readiness of the B cells to respond to antigens.
