Role of light chain variable region in myeloma with light chain deposition disease: evidence from an experimental model.
Light chain deposition disease (LCDD) results from a propensity of some human monoclonal L chains to form tissue deposits. We designed an experimental model for in vivo expression of human kappa L chain sequences in mice and compared a somatically mutated LCDD chain with a closely related control kappa chain, both encoded by the unique V kappa IV gene. Mice secreting the LCDD chain but not thos...
متن کاملAn Immunoglobulin Light Chain
Identification of the immunogens responsible for the production of pathogenic autoantibodies is a major problem in the field of autoimmunity. In the principal diseases that are thought to involve autoimmunization, rheumatoid arthritis, type I diabetes, and multiple sclerosis are examples, the instigating stimulus is unknown. Another example of the gap in our knowledge of disease-causing immunog...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin heavy and light chain isotypes in multiple myeloma patients.
The frequency of expression of immunoglobulin (Ig) light and heavy chain isotypes was analyzed in myeloma proteins (M-proteins) from sera of 40 Indian patients with clinically established multiple myeloma. Patients samples were screened by a combination of electrophoresis, immunoelectrophoresis (IEP) and ELISA techniques in this study. We found that majority of the myeloma proteins (58%) were o...

متن کاملMonitoring IgA multiple myeloma: immunoglobulin heavy/light chain assays.
BACKGROUND The use of electrophoresis to monitor monoclonal immunoglobulins migrating in the β fraction may be difficult because of their comigration with transferrin and complement proteins. METHODS Immunoassays specific for IgGκ, IgGλ, IgAκ, IgAλ, IgMκ, and IgMλ heavy/light chain (HLC) were validated for use in the clinical laboratory. We assessed sample stability, inter- and intraassay var...
