Bence Jones myeloma with a tetramer of kappa-type globulin in serum. 1980

M L Gallango, and R Suinaga, and M Ramírez

We describe a case of Bence Jones multiple myeloma involving two kappa-type monoclonal proteins. One was isolated from serum, the other from both serum and urine. After biochemical and immunochemical analyses, we concluded that one of the proteins was a tetramer, present in serum but not in urine, whereas the other was a monomer, which was excreted in large amounts in the urine during the terminal stage of the disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007122 Immunoelectrophoresis A technique that combines protein electrophoresis and double immunodiffusion. In this procedure proteins are first separated by gel electrophoresis (usually agarose), then made visible by immunodiffusion of specific antibodies. A distinct elliptical precipitin arc results for each protein detectable by the antisera.
D007145 Immunoglobulin kappa-Chains One of the types of light chains of the immunoglobulins with a molecular weight of approximately 22 kDa.

D007147 Immunoglobulin Light Chains Polypeptide chains, consisting of 211 to 217 amino acid residues and having a molecular weight of approximately 22 kDa. There are two major types of light chains, kappa and lambda. Two Ig light chains and two Ig heavy chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) make one immunoglobulin molecule.

D009101 Multiple Myeloma A malignancy of mature PLASMA CELLS engaging in monoclonal immunoglobulin production. It is characterized by hyperglobulinemia, excess Bence-Jones proteins (free monoclonal IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) in the urine, skeletal destruction, bone pain, and fractures. Other features include ANEMIA; HYPERCALCEMIA; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY.
