An Atypical Immunoglobulin [PDF]
Blood, 1968 Abstract A protein of the Ig G family has been isolated from the serum of a patient with a tentative diagnosis of a plasma cell neoplasm. The protein has a lower sedimentation constant (5.4) and a lower molecular weight (125,000) than normal immunoglobulins of the G family.

Immunoglobulins and immunoglobulin subclasses in the elderly [PDF]
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2003 Background: Published data imply that adult concentrations are achieved for all Ig isotypes and plateau by 15--18 years of age. Recent data, however, suggest that these results are not applicable in the elderly. There are no equivalent data for IgG subclasses.
