Summary: The immunoglobulins of a water-buffalo have been fractionated by ammonium sulphate precipitation and DEAE-cellulose chromatography into eight pools. These pools were analysed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, analytical isoelectric focusing, hexose determination, and chemical typing. The results suggested that water-buffalo IgG consists of two subclasses, fast (IgG1) and slow (1gG2).

          In addition, the light chains were shown to be entirely of the lambda type. The C-terminal tryptic peptide. was purified and shown to contain an extra proline when compared to the equilivalent peptide from bovine light chains.
