متن کاملBiochemical and aggregation analysis of Bence Jones proteins from different light chain diseases
Deposition of immunoglobulin light chains is a result of clonal proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells that secrete free immunoglobulin light chains, also called Bence Jones proteins (BJP). These BJP are present in circulation in large amounts and excreted in urine in various light chain diseases such as light chain amyloidosis (AL), light chain deposition disease (LCDD) and multiple myeloma ...
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...

Urinary Bence Jones protein and amyloid fibril protein isolated from the subcutaneous tissue of a patient with IgD myeloma and associated amyloidosis were subjected to physicochemical and immunochemical identification. Peptide maps and amino-terminal tetrapeptide composition obtained from the two proteins were comparable. Immunochemical cross-reactivity between the two proteins, with other lamb...
متن کاملFree immunoglobulin light chains in connective tissue diseases.
The basic immunoglobulin subunit consists of two heavy and two light chains held together by covalent disulphide bonds. In most cases of myeloma and Waldenstrom's disease there is an excess synthesis of light over heavy chains, resulting in Bence Jones proteinaemia and proteinuria. Furthermore, in some cases ("light chain disease"), there is absence of detectable heavy chain synthesis, and the ...
