Monitoring Monoclonal Gammopathies
Small IgG kappa M-spike
November 2009
This next patient, for example, has a mixture of polyclonal and monoclonal IgG. The protein electrophoresis M-spike focuses on the narrow monoclonal protein region, whereas the IgG quantitation would, in essence, measure the entire gamma fraction.
