- Title
SEROLOGICAL ACTIVITY IN MYELOMA TYPE GLOBULINS.
- Authors
Zettervall, O.; Sjöquist, J.; Waldenström, J.; Winblad, S.
- Abstract
The article presents a study related to myeloma globulins which have been shown to have many of the properties of normal immunoglobulins. The proteins in the "narrow bands" from the sera of two patients were isolated for study, and evidence was obtained that the serological activities of these sera were confined to the &b.gamma;-globulin (M-component). The close structural similarity between antibodies and myeloma proteins suggests that myeloma proteins displaying antibody activity could occur. Whether the apparent antibody activity of the M-components described above has the same structural basis as that of normal antibody is as yet unknown.
