Bence Jones protein in primary systemic amyloidosis.
The recent population-based study by Kyle et al,’ which was the first to provide precise epidemiologic information about primary systemic amyloidosis, reported the demonstration of a monoclonal (M)protein in the serum or urine from 16 of 21 patients (76%) with amyloid of unequivocal Ig origin (AL). However, the number of patients in whom free monoclonal Ig light chain (ie, Bence Jones [BJ] prot...
متن کاملWhat's in a name? Bence Jones protein
Plasma cell disorders are important in the differential diagnosis of acute kidney injury and of renal impairment with proteinuria. One or more of several mechanisms can be involved, such as cast nephropathy, deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulins, formation of amyloid fibrils, hypercalcaemia, hyperuricaemia and a variety of tubular syndromes. Various tests, such as serum electrophoresis and i...
متن کاملThe Fate of Injected Bence Jones Protein
Bence Jones protein injected into rabbits was excreted rapidly into the urine. The excreted protein retained the physicochemical and immunochemical properties of the injected Bence Jones protein. In spite of the rapid excretion, a significant portion of the injected Bence Jones protein was found to be metabolized. After reinjection of radioactive Bence Jones protein into the donor patient, only...
متن کاملAmino acid sequence of an amyloidogenic Bence Jones protein in myeloma-associated systemic amyloidosis.
The complete amino acid sequence of an amyloidogenic Bence Jones protein (NIG-84) from an individual with myeloma-associated systemic amyloidosis has been determined. The protein, with a blocked N-terminus, represents a complete light chain consisting of 217 residues and it has a structural feature characteristic of the V lambda II subgroup. In addition to a two-residue insertion at positions 2...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin D myeloma and amyloidosis: immunochemical and structural studies of Bence Jones and amyloid fibrillar proteins.
Urinary Bence Jones protein and amyloid fibril protein isolated from the subcutaneous tissue of a patient with IgD myeloma and associated amyloidosis were subjected to physicochemical and immunochemical identification. Peptide maps and amino-terminal tetrapeptide composition obtained from the two proteins were comparable. Immunochemical cross-reactivity between the two proteins, with other lamb...
