A member asked:
Are igg lambda monoclonal bands common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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?

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?

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
