Definition
English
:
Abnormal
immunoglobulins
synthesized by atypical
cells
of the
MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE SYSTEM
.
Paraproteins
containing only
light
chains
lead
to Bence Jones paraproteinemia, while the presence of only atypical heavy chains leads to
heavy chain disease
. Most of the
paraproteins
show themselves as an M-component (monoclonal gammopathy) in
electrophoresis
. Diclonal and polyclonal
paraproteins
are much less frequently encountered.
