Sequence similarities among kappa IIIb chains of monoclonal human IgM kappa autoantibodies
Light chains of the serologically and chemically defined V region sub-subgroup kappa IIIb are preferentially associated with several types of human IgM kappa (monoclonal) autoantibodies and are remarkably homologous in primary structure, as evidenced by partial amino acid sequence data. To establish the extent of homology among such proteins, we have determined the complete variable region (V) ...
متن کامل[Crystalline keratopathy due to kappa chains in a monoclonal gammopathy].
CASE REPORT The following case shows corneal crystal formation in a patient in whom thee systemic work-up led to the diagnosis of a monoclonal gammopathy with increased monoclonal immunoglobulin G (IgG). We present the corneal signs and subsequent haematological investigations undertaken to establish this important association. DISCUSSION Systemic work-up of a patient with corneal deposits sh...
متن کاملHuman rheumatoid factor crossidiotypes. II. Primary structure-dependent crossreactive idiotype, PSL2-CRI, present on Wa monoclonal rheumatoid factors is present on Bla and other IgM kappa monoclonal autoantibodies
The amino acid sequence of the L-CDR2 (complementarity-determining region) of Bla mRF (monoclonal rheumatoid factor) is identical to that of the Wa mRFs. The PSL2-CRI (crossreactive idiotype), as determined by anti-PSL2, which has been shown to be present on all Wa mRFs, is also present on the Bla mRF and other monoclonal autoantibodies. PSL2-CRI is, therefore, not unique to Wa mRFs and may be ...
متن کاملSjögren's syndrome, vasculitis, and cryoglobulinaemia associated with a monoclonal IgM (kappa) paraprotein with rheumatoid factor activity.
A patient is described with primary Sjögren's syndrome with an infrequently reported complication--vasculitis and cryoglobulinaemia due to a monoclonal IgM (kappa) paraprotein with rheumatoid factor activity. The clinical and theoretical implications are discussed.
