2 Free light chains: Facts and Numbers Plasma cells 2 Kappa : 1 Lambda producing cells Heavy chain Kappa: ~215 amino acids Mainly monomer MW 22.5kDa Serum half life: 2-4hr Lambda: ~215 amino acids Mainly Dimer MW 45kDa Serum half life: 3-6hr Light chain

3 Measurement of FLC: Serum vs Urine 1 1. Serum is a more sensitive measurement of FLC levels than urine. increased levels of free light chains will be observed earlier in serum than in urine due to their reabsorption and catabolism in renal tubular cells. 2. While increasing serum concentrations indicate worsening disease, falling urine g g g concentrations may falsely suggest disease stabilization or improvement. 2
