The estimation of free light chains of immunoglobulins in biological fluids

C R Tillyer. Int J Clin Lab Res. 1992.

Abstract

Methods for the estimation of the free light chains of immunoglobulins in serum, urine and cerebrospinal fluid are divided into two groups, electrophoretic and immunological, and the analytical performance of each method described. The problems associated with the accurate and precise determination of free light chains by the different methods are discussed and their complementary clinical roles emphasized. It is proposed that an International Reference Preparation for free light chains is established.
