Myelomatosis with the a2-type serum protein pattern.

چکیده
By J. A. OWEN AND W. D. RIDER P ATIENTS WITH MYELOMATOSIS, whose electrophoretic serum protein patterns have contained a discrete component in the a2-globulin fraction, have been described on very few occasions; moreover, not all of the reported cases have been universally accepted as instances of “a2-type” myeloma protein. Indeed, Waldenstr#{246}m1’2 has questioned the existence of the “a2-type” myeloma protein.

"Myeloma" serum electrophoretic patterns in conditions other than myelomatosis.
In most patients with myelomatosis, the serum electrophoretic pattern characteristically contains an anomalous component. Occasionally, however, patterns of the " myeloma " type are found in patients in whom the clinical findings and laboratory evidence do not support a diagnosis of myelomatosis. In this paper, the case histories of 10 such patients are presented and the significance of the fin...
متن کاملCriteria for Identification of Homogeneous Electrophoretic Peaks in Multiple Myeloma †
In 1939, Longsworth, Shedlovsky and MacInnes described the occurrence of abnormal Tiselius electrophoretic patterns in multiple myeloma.' These findings were confirmed by Kekwick,5 Gutman! and Moore' and their coworkers who pointed out that the characteristic pattern showed a sharp, narrow globulin component of variable electrophoretic mobility. During the next decade electrophoretic analyses o...
متن کاملThe biological significance of the anomalous serum and urinary proteins of myelomatosis, lymphoma, and other conditions.
The frequent occurrence of protein anomalies in patients with myelomatosis has long been recognized. Bence Jones reported on the unusual urinary protein of a patient with this disease over a hundred years ago (Bence Jones, 1848). Hyperproteinaemia in myelomatosis was recorded somewhat later (Ellinger, 1899). Subsequently, electrophoretic studies have shown that the hyperproteinaemia is due to t...
متن کاملMultiple myeloma in Jamaica: a study of 40 cases with special reference to the incidence and laboratory diagnosis.
For two years protein abnormality was studied in 40 cases of myelomatosis in Jamaica. Thirty-nine of these were in West Indian Negroes. The minimum incidence of myelomatosis in this group was estimated to be of the order of 50 cases per million per annum which is considerably higher than in Caucasians as reported by previous workers. A larger number showed myeloma protein with beta-globulin mob...
متن کاملMolecular Analysis of A2-genes Encoding Stage-specific S Antigen-like Proteins among Isolates from Iranian Cutaneous and Visceral Leishmaniasis
Objective(s) Leishmania can lead to a broad spectrum of diseases, collectively known as leishmaniasis. The A2 gene/ protein family could be one of the most eligible candidate factors of virulence in visceral leishmaniasis (VL). The previous results confirmed that in Leishmania infantum, several A2 proteins are abundantly expressed by the amastigote, but not the promastigote stage. As there are...
