Bound and Free Light Chains in Serum from Patients Affected with Various Neurological Diseases

Abstract: Summary: Six immunological parameters, of which the most important are the quantitative distribution of the free light chains, and the kappa-lambda ratios of both bound and free light chains, were investigated in serum of patients affected with various neurological disorders and compared to controls.Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis and viral encephalitis, which are diseases characterized by hyperimmunisation against definite antigens, are accompanied by a considerable quantitative increase of free light cha… Show more

“…We measured the λ subclass to prevent inadvertent detection of trastuzumab. Our analyses assumed the proportion of IgG Κ to IgG λ in human serum is approximately 2:1 [ 25 , 26 ], but very little is known about light chain restriction specifically for an anti-HER2 response. Therefore, it is possible that deviation in the ratio of IgG Κ / λ in the anti-HER2 response could introduce a selection bias in our analysis, and it also remains possible that patients in which we did not detect an antibody response in IgG λ may have mounted a response in IgG Κ or indeed other antibodies such as IgA or IgM.…”
