It does this through several mechanisms:{{cn|date=January 2023}}
* IgG-mediated binding of pathogens causes their immobilization and binding together via [[agglutination (biology)|agglutination]]; IgG coating of pathogen surfaces (known as [[opsonization]]) allows their recognition and ingestion by [[phagocytosis|phagocytic immune cells]] leading to the elimination of the pathogen itself;
* IgG activates all the [[classical complement pathway|classical pathway]] of the [[complement system]], a cascade of immune [[protein]] production that results in pathogen elimination;
* IgG also binds and [[neutralisation (immunology)|neutralizes]] [[toxin]]s;
* IgG also plays an important role in [[antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity]] (ADCC) and [[intracellular antibody-mediated proteolysis]], in which it binds to [[TRIM21]] (the receptor with greatest affinity to IgG in humans) in order to direct marked virions to the [[proteasome]] in the cytosol;<ref name="pmid21045130">{{cite journal |vauthors=Mallery DL, McEwan WA, Bidgood SR, Towers GJ, Johnson CM, James LC |title=Antibodies mediate intracellular immunity through tripartite motif-containing 21 (TRIM21) |journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, USA |volume=107 |issue=46 |pages=19985–19990 |year=2010 |pmid=21045130 |doi=10.1073/pnas.1014074107 |pmc=2993423|bibcode=2010PNAS..10719985M |doi-access=free }}</ref>
