Abstract excerpt
In multiple myeloma (MM) the rearranged immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) variable, diversity, and joining (VDJ) DNA sequence of malignant plasma cells (PCs) serves as a marker for cells in the MM clone. This clonotypic sequence can be isolated from MM PCs by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with consensus primers that amplify the rearranged IgH repertoire. This chapter focuses on the key...
