Real‐World Performance of CSF Kappa Free Light Chains in the 2024 McDonald Criteria

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Kappa free light chains (KFLCs) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) have a similar performance to CSF‐restricted oligoclonal bands (OCB) for multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis. To help with implementation, we set out to resolve several remaining uncertainties: (1) performance in a real‐world cohort and the 2024 McDonald criteria; (2 ...

Diverse patterns of antibody variable gene repertoire disruption in patients with amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis is the most common form of systemic amyloidosis. AL amyloidosis is caused by a misfolded light chain produced by a clonal population of plasma cells.

Folding of a single domain protein entering the endoplasmic reticulum precedes disulfide formation [PDF]

, 2017
The relationship between protein synthesis, folding and disulfide formation within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is poorly understood. Previous studies have suggested pre-existing disulfide links are absolutely required to allow protein folding and ...

Spinal Cord Infarction Versus Idiopathic Transverse Myelitis: Clinical, Radiological, and Functional Insights From a Retrospective Cohort Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a rare but devastating myelopathy, characterized by a high disability rate and an unfavorable prognosis. It has often been underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed as idiopathic transverse myelitis (ITM). This study aimed to describe the clinical features, radiological biomarkers, treatments, and functional ...

Heterohybridomas producing human immunoglobulin light chains using CD138-selected bone marrow cells

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Background: Light chain research is hampered by lack of mammalian cell lines producing human light chains (FLC). Therefore, we used heterohybridoma (HH) technology to produce clones making FLC thereby providing tools to study light chain behavior ...

Renal tubular P-glycoprotein expression is reduced in plasma cell disorders

Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2019
Background : P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transports many chemicals that vary greatly in their structure and function. It is normally expressed in renal proximal tubular cells. We hypothesized that P-gp expression influences light chain excretion.

Management of Atrial Fibrillation Using Immunoglobulin Free Light Chains, Novel Biomarkers of Inflammation

European Cardiology Review, 2022
AF is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. There is growing evidence that inflammatory mechanisms play an important role in its pathogenesis; inflammasome activation contributes to the onset and progression of AF.

Reversibility of lymphomas and lymphoproliferative lesions developing under cyclosporin-steroid therapy [PDF]

, 1984
Post-transplant lymphomas or other lymphoproliferative lesions, which were usually associated with Epstein-Barr virus infections, developed in 8, 4, 3, and 2 recipients, respectively, of cadaveric kidney, liver, heart, and heart-lung homografts ...

Clinical Practice Guideline for Evaluation and Management of Peripheral Nervous System Manifestations in Sjögren's Disease

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Sjögren's disease is an autoimmune disorder that can impact multiple organ systems, including the peripheral nervous system (PNS). PNS manifestations, which can exist concurrently, include mononeuropathies, polyneuropathies, and autonomic nervous system neuropathies.

Immunoglobulin genes and diversity: what we have learned from domestic animals

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2012
This review focuses on the diversity of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes and Ig isotypes that are expressed in domestic animals. Four livestock species—cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses—express a full range of Ig heavy chains (IgHs), including μ, δ, γ, ϵ, and α ...
