Also disclosed is a method for the purification of an antibody (specifically a chicken antibody) as a representative application of the polypeptide. Further disclosed is means for the purification. The polypeptide, BML-17, is a novel lectin made of 168 amino acid residues isolated from. By using BML-17, it becomes possible to purify an antibody (e.g., a chicken antibody) readily and with high efficiency.
