Biology, Clinical Patterns, and Treatment of Multiple Myeloma and Related Plasma–Cell Dyscrasias

  • Chapter
The Immunopathology of Lymphoreticular Neoplasms

Part of the book series: Comprehensive Immunology ((COMIMUN,volume 4))

Abstract

The common denominator in ail plasma–cell dyscrasias (PCDs) is the inordinate expansion of differentiated B–cell clones (plasma cells) capable of synthesis and secretion of immunoglobulin (Ig) or its subunits. The structurally homogeneous secreted proteins can be demonstrated in the serum and urine of the overwhelming majority of patients. In only rare instances can no secreted product be demonstrated, and infrequently, two or more clones can be shown to occur simultaneously (see Section 4.1.10f).
