IgG lambda rare: Only 20% of all human igg use lambda light chains. Monoclonal bands are not common in general and may be benign or a sign of myeloma. Most a kappa.

A member asked:

Is elevated kappa/lambda ratio on serum FLC test inherently monoclonal, even if neither kappa or lambda is elevated? Ratio high b/c lambda is low, not because of high kappa. SPEP/UPEP & IFE normal. High IgA, low IgG. Clean marrow biopsy. Polyclonal?

A member asked:

Gave plasma, leading to tests (cbc, SPEP, immunofixation, FLC). Waiting for hemo consult. Have high IGA (7.09g/l) but low IGG (3.05) &low IGM(.15). Monoclonal IGA type lambda found (8.5mg/l), lambda=33.4mg/l, but LC ratio ok. Am I immune compromised?

A member asked:

I had a serum immunofixation and serum electrophoresis run and the interpretation was suspicious of monoclonal gammopathy and IgG lambda. What does this mean? The beta and gamma globulin where at 0.6 and 0.7 g/dl?

A member asked:

I took a Immunofixation serum test in December and it was negative. I took it again in January and February. The IFE interpretation says: IgG kappa monoclonal band present. A faint monoclonal free lambda light chain is detected. Do I have cancer?

What does an abnormal protein band 1 mean on electrophoresis? Combined with IGG LAMBDA MONOCLONAL PROTEIN DETECTED

47 yo husband had SPE w/ normal component values but 2 zones of restriction (beta&gamma). IFE w/ IgG lambda m-protein and monoclonal free lambda. Gave value in mg/dL for both monoclonal 1&2. Is the M spike the sum of these 2 values (=266 mg/dL)?

I had an IFE test done. The results stated. One trace IgG Lambda monoclonal protein migrating in the GAMMA region. Reference range: No monoclonal proteins detected. My rheumatologist said that the results were normal but didnt explain the meaning?

Kappa/lambda FLC ratio high (2.75) w/ normal K(10.21mg/dl) & low L(3.68mg/dl). Hem-onc unsure if ratio implies K monoclonality since serum/urine IFE ok & neither chain is elevated. Could monoclonal K be suppressing L? IgA a bit high IgG &IgM a bitlow
