Essential Biochemistry - Plasma Proteins And Immunoglobulins (Section 1 - No. 24)
Bence Jones proteins are:
monoclonal light chains
Bimodal blurry chains
Intact globulins
All of all above
Explanation
In multiple myeloma, monoclonal light chains are produced from heavy chains and enter the bloodstream, receive then they are of relatively low molecular weight, they pass through glomerular membrane and appear in the urine. Those proteins chains of low molecular weight are known as Bence Jones Proteins.
