1ZVO - PubMed Abstract: 
Human immunoglobulin D (IgD) occurs most abundantly as a membrane-bound antibody on the surface of mature B cells (mIgD). IgD possesses the longest hinge sequence of all the human antibody isotypes, with 64 residues connecting the Fab and Fc fragments. A novel rapid purification scheme of secreted IgD from the serum of an IgD myeloma patient using thiophilic (T-gel) and lectin affinity chromatography gave a stable, homogeneous IgD preparation ...
