چکیده

A patient with plasma cell myeloma producing only Bence Jones lambda protein was found to have pale intranuclear inclusions in the majority of the bone marrow plasma cells. These inclusions, previously undescribed in myeloma patients producing only Bence Jones protein, contained Bence Jones lambda protein, were non-electron dense, bound by a single membrane, and contained no cytoplasmic structures. Intracytoplasmic inclusions were not present, and the perinuclear cistern was not dilated. Thus, the inclusions may represent intranuclear protein synthesis with anomalous release in the abnormal cells.

Cytology of myeloma cells.

A cytological, cytochemical, and cytometric study of plasma cells from 195 cases of multiple myeloma showed that, contrary to earlier reports, flaming cells, thesaurocytes, and intranuclear inclusions are not confined to IgA-secreting cases but are common also in IgG and Bence Jones varieties of myeloma. IgA-secreting cells are not larger, nor do they have a lower nuclear cytoplasmic ratio than...

Double spike in the electropherogram of a myeloma serum, from Bence Jones protein.

Serum from a 71-year-old man with multiple myeloma complicated with renal failure showed a monoclonal IgG lambda. A second spike appearing in the serum protein electropherogram, suggesting a biclonal gammopathy, was found to be due to lambda Bence Jones protein (29.9 g/liter). Lambda Bence Jones protein was also found in smaller concentration (3.8 g/liter) in the urine. Tetramers of Bence Jones...

Plasma cell myeloma showing progressive bone destruction during long-term clinical remission.

A case of plasma cell myeloma initially producing Bence Jones protein of lambda type was presented. BJ protein disappeared within two months of cyclophosphamide and betamethasone administration. A complete remission continued for the following 2 years and 8 months with no medication, although the patient insidiously developed osteolytic lesions. The discrepancy of long-term negative BJP and cli...

Bence Jones myeloma cells with crystalline inclusions.

A 40-year-old man was found to have proteinuria on a routine medical checkup in 1993. Further examination showed an erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 7 mm/h, hemoglobin 15.1 g/dL, white cell count 3,400/mm, platelet count 175,000/mm, IgG 366 mg/dL, IgA 11 mg/dL, IgM 10 mg/dL, blood urea nitrogen 25 mg/dL, and creatinine 1.2 mg/dL. Immunoelectrophoresis revealed Bence Jones protein (к light chai...

Biochemical 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 ...
