Four cases of Mediterranean lymphoma, in two of which serum alpha chains had been identified, were investigated with immunohistochemical techniques. In addition to alpha chains of alpha 1, subclass, monotypic light chains were identified in infiltrating tumour cells in all four patients and in plasma cells in two. The pattern of staining was in keeping with loss of light chain occurring with pl...
متن کاملShark Immunoglobulin Light Chains
The humoral adaptive immune system of sharks is partly based on the same H2L2 heterodimeric antibody structure seen in all jawed vertebrates (reviewed in Flajnik 2002). The constituent vertebrate immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy (H) and light (L) chains provide obligate defense against pathogens and their toxins via neutralization, opsonization, and activation of the classical pathway of the complemen...
متن کاملImmunoproliferative Small Intestine Disease (IPSID): A Case Report
Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease (IPSID) is the syndrome associated with Mediterranean lymphoma (a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma). Many of the patients diagnosed with secretory IPSID have variable level of abnormal immunoglobulins in serum or other bodily fluids, identified as truncated alpha heavy chain globulins. Most cases are characterized by a loss of ability to synthesiz...
متن کاملLight chains and the kidney.
Five cases of renal impairment caused by the deposition of light chains in the kidney in association with various immunoproliferative disorders are reported. Light microscopy, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy were undertaken and different clinical courses were studied, resulting in variable influences of treatment. Light chain deposition is an important cause of renal impairment an...
