Evaluation of Interleukin-10, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Levels, and Bone Marrow Parameters in Multiple Myeloma Patients at Diagnosis and After Treatment

open access: yesDiagnostics
Background: Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are believed to possess a role in the pathophysiology of multiple myeloma (MM).

Allergy for a Lifetime?

open access: yesAllergology International, 2010
As the key molecule of type-I-hypersensitivity, IgE provides specificity for the allergen and links it to the allergic effector functions. Antibodies are secreted by plasma cells and their precursors, the plasma blasts.

Sphingosylphosphorylcholine inhibits plasma cell differentiation and ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease that damages the brain and spinal cord, inducing paralysis of the body. While MS has been known as a T-cell mediated disease, recent attention has been drawn to the involvement of B ...

Non resolving pneumonia - A rare differential

open access: yesJournal of Association of Pulmonologist of Tamil Nadu, 2020
Multiple myeloma(MM) is a malignant systemic hematological disease that arises from monoclonal plasma cells. It usually affects older patients and is characterized by the presence of monoclonal immunoproteins in the serum.

Non-classical B Cell Memory of Allergic IgE Responses

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
The long-term effectiveness of antibody responses relies on the development of humoral immune memory. Humoral immunity is maintained by long-lived plasma cells that secrete antigen-specific antibodies, and memory B cells that rapidly respond to antigen ...

Plasma cell leukemia [PDF]

open access: yesBlood Reviews, 2011
Plasma cell leukemia (PCL) is a rare, yet aggressive plasma cell (PC) neoplasm, variant of multiple myeloma (MM), characterized by high levels of PCs circulating in the peripheral blood. PCL can either originate de novo (primary PCL) or as a secondary leukemic transformation of MM (secondary PCL). Presenting signs and symptoms are similar to those seen

Plasma cell leukaemia

open access: yesPorto Biomedical Journal, 2016
Plasma cell leukaemia (PCL) is a rare and aggressive disease. Diagnosis is made when there are >2000/#mL circulating plasma cells in peripheral blood or plasmacytosis >20% of total leukocyte count. We report a case of a 51-year old man with generalized bone pain and constitutional symptoms.

Plasma cell dyscrasias and normal plasma cells.

open access: yesJournal of the Japan Society of the Reticuloendothelial System, 1993
We have recently shown that two-color analysis with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-anti-CD38 antibody could clearly distinguish myeloma cells (plasma cells) from other hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow. Myeloma cells (plasma cells) alone were located at CD38strong positive(+++) fractions.
