Presenting signs and symptoms of multiple myeloma (MM) include bone pain, pathologic fractures, weakness, anemia, infection (often pneumococcal), hypercalcemia, spinal cord compression, and renal failure. In approximately 30% of cases, MM is discovered through routine blood screening when patients are...
MM is often discovered through routine blood screening when patients are being evaluated for unrelated problems. In one third of patients, the condition is diagnosed after a pathologic fracture occurs, usually involving the axial skeleton. Examination for MM may reveal the following: HEENT examination...

P3X63Ag8 cells were also fused to BALB/c spleen cells with anti-sheep red blood cell activity. The cells from the fusion were subcloned and the Sp2/0-Ag14 myeloma cell line was established (Shulman et al., 1978). NSO/1 cells were derived from NSI/1-Ag4-1 cells that were selected...

Moreover, the disease can be monitored in mice indirectly by measuring monoclonal immunoglobulins (M-protein) in the blood. Thus, the Vκ*MYC model provides a unique opportunity to assess the molecular profiles of malignant cells from the earliest stages of myeloma, prior to serological detection...
