Metabolism of Bence Jones Proteins.
Bence Jones proteins are molecules of about 40,000 mol wt present in the urine of many patients with plasma cell malignancy. These microglobulins, which are synthesized in plasma-cell tumors (1, 2), share many immunochemical and physicochemical features with the larger 6.6 S y-globulins. That Bence Jones proteins are similar to or identical with components of the larger y-globulins has been sug...
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 کاملBence Jones proteinuria in multiple sclerosis.
We report our findings of Bence Jones proteins (monoclonal free light chains of immunoglobulins) in concentrated urines of patients with multiple sclerosis, by using agarose electrophoresis and immunofixation. The lack of such findings in urines from healthy subjects and patients with other neurological disorders should stimulate further investigation.
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 کاملThe Nature of Bence-jones Proteins
The chemical relations among Bence-Jones proteins, myeloma proteins, and normal gamma-globulins have been investigated by a variety of means. Starch gel electrophoresis in 8 M urea of reduced alkylated Bence-Jones proteins yielded patterns of bands corresponding to those of the light (L) polypeptide chains of the dissociated myeloma protein from the same patient. One instance in which this corr...
