Several monoclonal antibodies have been raised in the past which react with human plasma cells but they have all shown additional reactions with other cell types. In this paper we describe a new monoclonal antibody, ZB51, which recognizes an intracellular antigen in normal plasma cells in cryostat tissue sections and cell smears, and which also reacts with neoplastic cells in most cases of myeloma and with plasma cell lines. The antibody shows minimal reactivity with a few eosinophils and myelocytes in bone marrow and stains a myeloid cell line. Whilst normal epithelium is not labelled, antibody ZB51 stains two carcinoma cell lines. Although it was not possible to characterize the target antigen in terms of molecular weight, the reactivity of antibody ZB51 with normal and neoplastic plasma cells makes it a useful new immunocytochemical reagent.

D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

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.

D010950 Plasma Cells Specialized forms of antibody-producing B-LYMPHOCYTES. They synthesize and secrete immunoglobulin. They are found only in lymphoid organs and at sites of immune responses and normally do not circulate in the blood or lymph.

D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
D000951 Antigens, Neoplasm Proteins, glycoprotein, or lipoprotein moieties on surfaces of tumor cells that are usually identified by monoclonal antibodies. Many of these are of either embryonic or viral origin. Neoplasm Antigens,Tumor Antigen,Tumor Antigens,Antigen, Tumor,Antigens, Tumor
