Maybe, you have received some informations from others.
What I know is as follows:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
		IgG2a	IgA	IgG2b	IgG1	IgD	IgM
strain name	(Igh1)	(Igh2)	(Igh3)	(Igh4)	(Igh5)	(Igh6)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A		[e]	de	e	acdefgh
AKR		[d]	de	d	acdefgh
BALB/c		[a]	ah	ach	acdefgh
C3H/HeJ		a
C57BL/10	[b]
C57BL/6		b	b	b	b
C57BR/cd	a
C57L		a
C58		a
CBA/J		a
CE		[f]	f	f	acdefgh
DBA/1		c
DBA/2		[c]	cg	ach	acdefgh
NZB		e
RF		c
RIII		[g]	cg	g	acdefgh
SEA		[h]	ah	ach	acdefgh
SJL		b
SWR		c
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* [] means that the strain marked is type strain.

Hope this helps you.
