  • Title: [M-component of serum formed by lambda-type Bence-Jones protein].
    Author: Snigurowicz J, Rostkowska J, Powiertowska-Rezmer M.
    Journal: Acta Haematol Pol; 1976; 7(2):103-9. PubMed ID: 820159.
    Abstract:
    M-component in the serum composed of free light chains occurs rarely as evidenced by literature. In the investigations of the authors it was demonstrated that three M components obtained from patients with plasmocytoma were composed of free light chains type lambda. High concentration of low-molecular protein in serum was due, probably, to coexistent impairment of renal filtration. It is worth stressing that M component was a lambda-type chain which may explain the pathogenesis of renal failure caused by amyloidosis.
