Bence Jones' protein
Also known as:
Bence Jones’ albumin
Associated persons:
John Dalrymple
Henry Bence Jones
Description:
Abnormal, heat-sensitive low molecular paraprotein consisting exclusively of monoclonal light chains of gamma globulin molecules with an MG of ca 22.000. Occurs in urine in patients with multiple myeloma and occasionally in patients with other diseases of the reticuloendothelial system. When urine samples are heated to 50 to 60°C, a precipitate forms. It disappears when the urine is boiled and reappears when the urine cools. Demonstrated by electrophoresis. Discovered by Bence-Jones in 1848.
Following the short biography of Henry Bence Jones is an article on the men whose work resulted in the discovery of the Bence Jones Protein. It contains many of the names found in the bibliography below.
