Abstract excerpt
Primary systemic amyloidosis (AL) is a rare monoclonal plasma cell (PC) disorder characterized by the deposition of misfolded immunoglobulin (Ig) light chains (LC) in vital organs throughout the body. To our knowledge, no cell lines have ever been established from AL patients. Here we describe the establishment of the ALMC-1 and ALMC-2 cell lines from an AL patient. Both cell lines exhibit a PC phenotype and...
