Serum monoclonal immunoglobulins in childhood
Danon, F., and Seligmann, M. (1973). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 48,207. Serum monoclonal immunoglobulins in childhood. Of 18 children with monoclonal immunoglobulins in their sera, 13 had a primary or secondary immunodeficiency. The monoclonal immunoglobulin belonged to each of the three main Ig classes, and in 3 children multiple monoclonal components were detected. The level ofthe mono...
متن کاملMonoclonal gammopathy: natural history studied with a retrospective approach.
The aim of this study was to examine the natural history of monoclonal gammopathy using a retrospective approach and a long observation period. Protein electrophoresis (PE) and immunofixation (IF) was performed on frozen prediagnosis serum samples from 65 multiple myeloma (MM) and 10 Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) cases. Paraprotein was found in 28% and 46% of the samples from cases using...
متن کاملProduction of seven monoclonal equine immunoglobulins isotyped by multiplex analysis.
Horses have 11 immunoglobulin isotypes: IgM, IgD, IgA, IgE, and seven IgG subclasses designated as IgG1-IgG7, each of which are distinguished by separate genes encoding the constant heavy chain regions. Immunoglobulin (Ig) isotypes have different functions during the immune response and pathogen-specific isotypes can be used as indicators for immunity and protection from disease. In addition to...
متن کاملFrequency of calcium binding by monoclonal immunoglobulins in multiple myeloma.
Total and ionized calcium and other related parameters were measured in 34 patients with multiple myeloma. Hypercalcemia was not a major feature of the group of patients studied with only three patients exhibiting marked increases in total (Ca total) and ionized (Ca++) calcium concentrations. The Ca++/Ca total ratio was also maintained within relatively narrow limits. No major differences were ...
متن کاملCytophilic immunoglobulins revisited via natural killer
Cytophilia is one of the biologic properties of the Fe region of immunoglobulins operationally defined as the ability of an antibody molecule to attach to certain cell types before combination with antigen. By attachment of cytophilic antibody to membrane Fe receptors, cells become “armed” with antibodies and able to interact specifically with soluble or particulate antigens. In contrast to thi...
