LETTER TO THE EDITOR Novel multi-parameter flow cytometry sensitively detects phenotypically distinct plasma cell subsets in plasma cell proliferative disorders
The detection of abnormal plasma cells (PCs) is a fundamental element in diagnosing plasma cell proliferative disorders (PCPDs) such as multiple myeloma. Flow cytometry (FC) is routinely employed for this purpose; by this method, neoplastic PCs are identified either by restricted patterns of cytoplasmic immunoglobulin (cy-Ig) light chain expression or by aberrant patterns of surface antigen exp...
متن کاملCD94 defines phenotypically and functionally distinct mouse NK cell subsets.
Understanding of heterogeneous NK subsets is important for the study of NK cell biology and development, and for the application of NK cell-based therapies in the treatment of disease. Here we demonstrate that the surface expression of CD94 can distinctively divide mouse NK cells into two approximately even CD94(low) and CD94(high) subsets in all tested organs and tissues. The CD94(high) NK sub...
متن کاملExpression of CD52 on plasma cells in plasma cell proliferative disorders.
Multiple myeloma (MM) and primary systemic amyloidosis (AL) remain incurable disorders, and new treatments targeted to the malignant plasma cells are needed. Alemtuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody to CD52 and has activity in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. We examined the CD52 expression on CD45+ and CD45- plasma cell populations to evaluate the potential for using alemtuzumab for these d...
متن کاملNovel Cell-Based Therapies in Hepatic Disorders
In the recent decade, liver diseases with high mortality rate have became one of the major health problems worldwide. Liver transplantation is the most effective and the standard treatment for decompensated liver disease, but, shortage of available organs and inaccuracy in modeling of the liver diseases are the most limiting issues in treatment. Regenerative medicine and cell based therapy str...
متن کاملParticle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions of a Plasma Column Driven by Surface Wave Plasma Discharges
In this work, applicability of Particle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions (PIC-MCC) simulation method for better understanding of the plasma physical mechanisms and real important aspects of a plasma column driven by surface wave plasma discharges that is used in plasma antennas is examined. Via the implementation of geometry and physical parameters of the plasma column to an Object Oriented PIC-M...
