چکیده

Immunoglobulin-secreting cells (ISC) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBM) isolated from patients with plasma cell dyscrasia of various stages were studied using reverse hemolytic plaque assay. Normal healthy individuals contained 35 +/- 16 ISC/10(5) PBM. Aleukemic or subleukemic patients with overt myeloma contained 825 +/- 713 ISC, whereas leukemic patients contained 12,675 +/- 2520 ISC. Patients of premyelomatous stage, however, contained ISC/10(5) PBM of normal range. The relationship between ISC and clinical stage or laboratory data is discussed.

A plaque assay to enumerate circulating Ig-secreting cells of each type of the different Ig classes.

A new method to quantitate circulating cells secreting immunoglobulin (Ig) of each type of the different classes by hemolytic plaque technique is reported. The ratio of kappa (k)-secreting cells and lambda(lambda)-secreting cells of the different lg classes in normal individuals is almost equal to that of kappa:lambda light chains in corresponding serum lg class, whereas the ratio in plasma cel...

Quantitation of Monoclonal Plasma Cells in Bone Marrow Biopsies in Plasma Cell Dyscrasia

Direct measurement of monoclonal plasma cell mass in bone marrow biopsies may be a useful parameter to establish in plasma cell dyscrasia. In this study monoclonal plasma cells/mm in light chain immunoglobulin immunostained archival bone marrow sections from 22 patients in whom a diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM) had been excluded but who had monoclonal proteins were counted by two observers a...

Circulating plasmablasts/plasma cells: a potential biomarker for IgG4-related disease

BACKGROUND Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a multisystem fibroinflammatory disease. We previously reported that a circulating cell population expressing CD19+CD24-CD38hi was increased in patients with IgG4-RD. In this study, we aimed to document that this cell population represented circulating plasmablasts/plasma cells, to identify the detailed phenotype and gene expressi...

Biological and Immunological Reactions in Parasitic Diseases

Processed antigen reacts selectively with lymphocytes bearing .appropriate surface immunoglobulin molecules resulting in the clonal proliferation of these cells, produc­ing circulating immunoglobulin (humoral immunity) or non-circulating immunoglobulins (cellular immunity).  High levels of circulating immunoglobulins (lgM & lgG) occur in protozoa and helminths infections. Reaginic antibodies a...
