Three-dimensional structure of an immunoglobulin light-chain dimer with amyloidogenic properties [PDF]

, 2002
The X-ray structure of an immunoglobulin light-chain dimer isolated from the urine as a 'Bence-Jones protein' from a patient with multiple myeloma and amyloidosis (Sea) was determined at 1.94 Angstrom resolution and refined to R and R-free factors of 0 ...

Senile Systemic Amyloidosis: Clinical Features at Presentation and Outcome [PDF]

, 2013
Background Cardiac amyloidosis is a fatal disease whose prognosis and treatment rely on identification of the amyloid type. In our aging population transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is common and must be differentiated from other amyloid types.

Light-Chain Amyloidosis: The Great Impostor

Life, 2023
Light-chain amyloidosis (AL) is a disease of protean manifestations due to a wide spectrum of organs that can be affected. The disorder is caused by the deposition of an extracellular amorphous material, the amyloid, which is produced by malignant plasma cells.

Light‐chain amyloid myopathy isolated to skeletal muscles: A case report

Clinical Case Reports, 2020
Isolated amyloidosis, especially of amyloid light‐chain type, is an infrequent disease. Systemic chemotherapy for light‐chain amyloidosis isolated to skeletal muscles plays a key role to reduce clonal plasma cells producing aberrant immunoglobulin.

Duodenal biopsy: an unexpected confirmatory test for a patient with al-amyloidosis

Sri Lanka Journal of Medicine, 2019
SSystemic AL- amyloidosis is a disorder of protein folding in which there is extra-cellular accumulation as β pleated fibrillar deposits of monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain fragments. AL- amyloidosis is a rare clinical entity.

Evaluation of the N Latex free light chain assay in the diagnosis and monitoring of AL amyloidosis [PDF]

, 2013
Background: We compared a novel assay for free light chain (FLC) quantitation based on monoclonal antibodies (N-Latex, Siemens, Germany) to the established polyclonal antibody-based assay (Freelite (TM), The Binding Site, UK) in AL ...
