PR1 Is Cross-Presented By Multiple Myeloma Cells in Patients and Renders Multiple Myeloma Susceptible to PR1-CTL and Anti-PR1/HLA-A2 Antibody

Multiple Myeloma Update

This literature review presents the most recent developments in the management of multiple myeloma, which is characterized by the presence of abnormal plasma cells (myeloma cells) that accumulate into the bone marrow. Aspects related to pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, laboratory, study and treatment are described. These pieces of information  are necessary to accomplish a better ...

Multiple Myeloma with HBs Antigenemia Presented with Hoarseness and Systemic Amyloidosis

Multiple Myeloma Presenting as Respiratory Stridor

Extramedullary plasmacytoma occurs in 18% of patients with multiple myeloma. Laryngeal involvement in multiple myeloma is rare, and only a few cases have been reported. We present a case of a 44-year-old women with multiple myeloma who presented with stridor due to a mass involving the larynx which was initially proven to be plasmacytoma on biopsy. She had evidence of multiple myeloma of IgA la...

The inhibitory anti-FGFR3 antibody, PRO-001, is cytotoxic to t(4;14) multiple myeloma cells.

The association of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) expression with t(4;14) multiple myeloma (MM) and the demonstration of the transforming potential of this receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) make it a particularly attractive target for drug development. We report here a novel and highly specific anti-FGFR3-neutralizing antibody (PRO-001). PRO-001 binds to FGFR3 expressed on transformed...
