Amyloidogenic light chains impair plasma cell survival

Abstract excerpt

Systemic light chain amyloidosis (AL) is a clonal plasma cell disorder characterized by the deposition of misfolded immunoglobulin light chains (LC) as insoluble fibrils in organs. The lack of suitable models has hindered the investigation of the disease mechanisms. Our aim was to establish AL LC-producing plasma cell lines and use them to investigate the biology of the amyloidogenic clone. We used lentiviral...
