Cloning of immunoglobulin kappa light chain genes from mouse liver and myeloma MOPC 173.
The organization of the kappa chain constant region gene was compared in DNA from an immunoglobulin-producing mouse myeloma (MOPC 173) and from liver. In situ hybridization using the Southern blotting technique revealed constant region gene-containing EcoRI-DNA fragments of 14 and 20 kb in the myeloma tissue whereas one EcoRI-DNA fragment with a length of 15 kb was found in liver DNA. After enr...
متن کاملTriphenotypic multiple myeloma expressing kappa or lambda light chain or both
A 70-year-old man presented with a 6-year history of oedema of both lower extremities. Ultrasonic examination showed bilateral anterior tibial artery occlusion due to thrombosis, moderate bilateral pleural effusions and ascites. He had severe pancytopenia, chronic renal dysfunction (serum creatinine 223 8 lmol/l and more than 1 g/24 h of urinary protein) and, on ultrasound examination, mildly e...
متن کاملDevelopment and characterization of polyclonal antibody against human kappa light chain in rabbit
Polyclonal antibodies against kappa light chain are used to diagnose diseases producing free light chain. The kappa and lambda light chains are products of immunoglobulin synthesis and released into the circulation in minor amounts such as serum, cerebrospinal fluid, urine and synovial fluid in normal condition. The purpose of this study was the production and purification of polyclonal immunog...
متن کاملSerum Free Light-chain Assay for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prognosis of Multiple Myeloma
In recent decades, new serum biomarkers have been developed for routine laboratory practice, such as assaying serum free light chains and more recently, assaying immunoglobulin heavy and light chain isotypes (Hevylite). In this work, we highlight the interest of new biomarkers (Hevylite Test) in the management of monoclonal gammopathies because of the technical advantages it confers and the se...
متن کاملDiagnosis and monitoring for light chain only and oligosecretory myeloma using serum free light chain tests.
This study aims to guide the integration of serum free light chain (sFLC) tests into clinical practice, including a new rapid test (Seralite® ). Blood and urine analysis from 5573 newly diagnosed myeloma patients identified 576 light chain only (LCO) and 60 non-secretory (NS) cases. Serum was tested by Freelite® and Seralite® at diagnosis, maximum response and relapse. 20% of LCO patients had u...
