What is the ratio of IgM to IgG at the beginning of the antisera project?

The IgM is the primary antibody response and is highest in the first 2-4 weeks, then declines as the IgG response builds. By the time the first bleed is taken at seven weeks, the majority of antibodies present are IgG. There may still be trace amounts of IgM present, but there is not an exact figure to give. Very low levels at that time, if any.
