Monoclonal immunoglobulin and its related abnormalities in cases of plasma cell dyscrasia.

چکیده
One hundred and twenty four cases of plasma cell dyscrasia (PCD) were investigated in terms of monoclonal protein and its related abnonnalities. Seventy nine cases of myeloma were compared with 45 cases of PCD without osteolytic myeloma. Low levels of background immunoglobulins and high proportions of marrow plasma cells were seen in myeloma cases. Among myeloma cases, G-myeloma or A-myeloma had high levels of total serum proteins and monoclonal proteins, in contrast to data of D-myeloma or myeloma with Bence Jones protein only.

Immunologic Basis and Immunoprophy-laxis of RhD Induced Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN)
RhD antigen is the most immunogenic and clinically significant antigen of red blood cells after ABO system. It has historically been associated with hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) which is now routinely prevented by the administration of polyclonal anti-D immunoglobulin. This management of HDN has proven to be one of the most successful cases of prophylactic treatment based on antibody ...

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...
