Serum Protein Electrophoresis and Immunofixation Electrophoresis Detection in Multiple Myeloma
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this study was to investigate the diagnostic significance serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation detection in diagnosis multiple myeloma (MM). One hundred five patients were investigated. rate M by better (105 cases, 100%) than that (101 96.19%, p<0.001). band not detected four cases (3.81%), among which one case (0.95%) identified as IgA type 3 (2.86%) light chain after immunoglobulin analysis. Immunofixation technique can be used for screening with atypical MM; increase accuracy MM. Key Words: Multiple (MM), Serum electrophoresis, Monoclonal immunoglobulin.

Serum protein electrophoresis and immunofixation by a semiautomated electrophoresis system.
Semiautomated agarose electrophoresis and immunofixation performed with Hydrasys-Hyrys (Sebia) were compared with conventional, manually performed methods, including cellulose acetate electrophoresis, immunoelectrophoresis, and immunofixation. Reference intervals for agarose electrophoresis with Hydrasys-Hyrys were determined. Within-run imprecision (CV) for fraction quantitation with the semia...
متن کاملSerum free light chain analysis and urine immunofixation electrophoresis in patients with multiple myeloma.
PURPOSE Retrospective studies have shown that immunoassays measuring free light chains (FLC) in serum are useful for diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma. This study prospectively evaluates the use of FLC assays and, for the first time, investigates the relationship between serum FLC concentrations and the presence and detectability of Bence Jones (BJ) proteins in the urine. PATIENTS ...
متن کاملDetection by immunofixation of M proteins in hypogammaglobulinemic patients with normal serum protein electrophoresis results.
Serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) demonstrates a monoclonal protein as an M spike in the majority of patients with monoclonal gammopathies. However, in patients with an apparently normal SPE pattern or hypogammaglobulinemia, immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) can reveal an M protein. We undertook this study to determine the yield of reflex IFE testing in patients with hypogammaglobulinemia ...
متن کاملSensitivity of immunofixation electrophoresis for detecting IgM paraproteins in serum.
Detection and characterization of small IgM paraproteins by immunoelectrophoresis are often difficult because of (a) slow diffusion of the macromolecular immunoglobulin, and (b) the obscuring of the light chain, especially kappa, by the light chains of background polyclonal immunoglobulin (the "umbrella effect"). Various methods of sample pretreatment have been tried in an attempt to overcome t...
متن کاملUrine protein electrophoresis and immunofixation electrophoresis supplement one another in characterizing proteinuria.
Urine protein electrophoresis (UPE) is often considered to have limited usefulness in evaluating proteinuria that is not associated with gammopathies. Unusual protein bands that are detected by UPE are commonly characterized by immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE). In this paper, electrophoretic gel patterns are shown to illustrate the greater sensitivity of IFE, compared to UPE. However, UPE r...
