Triphenotypic multiple myeloma expressing kappa or lambda light chain or both
A 70-year-old man presented with a 6-year history of oedema of both lower extremities. Ultrasonic examination showed bilateral anterior tibial artery occlusion due to thrombosis, moderate bilateral pleural effusions and ascites. He had severe pancytopenia, chronic renal dysfunction (serum creatinine 223 8 lmol/l and more than 1 g/24 h of urinary protein) and, on ultrasound examination, mildly e...
متن کاملResponse to therapy in IgG myeloma patients excreting lambda or kappa light chains: CALGB experience.
Sixty-eight previously untreated patients with IgG myeloma who were entered into five protocols of Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) were studied in order to determine the possible influence of excretion of kappa versus lambda urinary light chains on responses to treatment and survival. All patients in these protocols were included if the serum and urine protein abnormalities were confirmed b...
متن کاملSerum Free Light-chain Assay for the Diagnosis, Management, and Prognosis of Multiple Myeloma
In recent decades, new serum biomarkers have been developed for routine laboratory practice, such as assaying serum free light chains and more recently, assaying immunoglobulin heavy and light chain isotypes (Hevylite). In this work, we highlight the interest of new biomarkers (Hevylite Test) in the management of monoclonal gammopathies because of the technical advantages it confers and the se...

متن کاملPolysaccharide binding potential of the human A2 or A18 kappa light chain homologues.
Antibodies having light (L) chains encoded by the kappaII-A2 variable region gene segment predominate in the human response to the Haemophilus influenzae type b polysaccharide (Hib PS). To determine whether the closely related homologue of the A2 gene, the kappaII-A18 gene, has the potential to contribute to the repertoire, we examined Hib PS binding to a series of recombinant Fab fragments hav...
