What'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 کاملBence 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 کاملClinical applications of immunofixation: a more sensitive technique for the detection of Bence Jones protein.
Immunofixation in agarose gel has been compared with agarose electrophoresis for the detection of Bence Jones protein in urine. The technique has a sensitivity between five and 10 times greater than electrophoresis and allows the identification of multiple Bence Jones proteins and Bence Jones proteins with fast mobility in the presence of other urinary proteins. In four out of 12 patients studi...
متن کاملCatabolic Origin of a Bence Jones Protein Fragment
Gel filtration analysis of the urinary proteins of some patients with myeloma has shown the presence of "fragments" of Bence Jones proteins which correspond to the variable half of these proteins. Experiments have been carried out to establish the origin of a "fragment" observed in a patient who excreted a large amount of this protein. Labeled homologous Bence Jones protein has been injected in...
