UNDERSTANDING MULTIPLE MYELOMA
Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of the immune system, in particular of the plasma cell a mature b lymphocyte.
Plasma cells produce antibodies(immunoglobulins) that normally protect us from infection but in multiple myeloma these are nonfunctional and are called paraproteins.
All of the paraproteins from any one individual are monoclonal (identical) because the myeloma cells are identical clones of a single plasma cell.
