CD200 expression in plasma cells of nonmyeloma immunoproliferative disorders: clinicopathologic features and comparison with plasma cell myeloma.

The majority of plasma cell myelomas (PCMs) are positive for CD200, a membrane protein with immunosuppressive function. There are no flow cytometry data in the literature on plasma cell CD200 expression in other immunoproliferative disorders. Therefore we used flow cytometry to study the expression of CD200 on plasma cells in diagnostic bone marrow aspirates from 61 patients with monoclonal gam...

Sumoylated HSP90 is a dominantly inherited plasma cell dyscrasias risk factor.

Posttranslationally modified proteins serve as autoimmunogenic targets in a wide spectrum of autoimmune diseases. Here, we identified a posttranslationally modified paraprotein target (paratargs) in monoclonal gammopathies of undetermined significance (MGUS), multiple myelomas (MM), and Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemias (WM) using protein macroarrays that were sumoylated and screened for reactiv...

Differential pattern of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell immunity to MAGE-A1/A2/A3 in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and multiple myeloma.

The factors that determine progression from monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) to multiple myeloma are unclear but may include the breakdown of immune surveillance. Cancer testis antigens (CTAgs) are expressed by the majority of myelomas and MGUS tumors and are a potential immune target. We have characterized CD4(+) and CD8(+) T-cell immune responses to MAGE-A1/A2/A3 in t...

Phenotypic difference of normal plasma cells from mature myeloma cells.

We have recently shown that two-color analysis with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-anti-CD38 antibody could clearly distinguish myeloma cells (plasma cells) from other hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow. Myeloma cells (plasma cells) alone were located at CD38strong positive (++) fractions. To further distinguish normal plasma cells from mature myeloma cells phenotypically, we examined im...

CCR Translations Prevention of Progression in Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance

In this issue of Clinical Cancer Research, Golombick and colleagues (1), report on preventive therapy for monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) using curcumin, the most active component of the commonly used Indian spice, turmeric. This small pilot trial uses nonstandard response criteria and does not affect clinical practice, but is an important study that raises several maj...
