Abstract
A Ca-binding IgG .kappa. monoclonal protein in a patient with multiple myeloma and asymptomatic hypercalcemia was recognized isolated and characterized. In addition to binding by the whole IgG molecule, Ca was bound by purified Fab fragments and recombined heavy and light chains. In a competitive binding study, the isolated myeloma protien did not bind Mg. Recognition of Ca-binding myeloma proteins is important to avoid therapy for hypercalcemia.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
