Immunoglobulin light chain - Wikipedia The immunoglobulin light chain is the small polypeptide subunit of an antibody (immunoglobulin) A typical antibody is composed of two immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chains and two Ig light chains

Free light chains - Pathology Tests Explained Each type of immunoglobulin is composed of four protein chains - two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains A particular plasma cell will produce only one type of immunoglobulin Normally, there is a slight excess of free light chains produced, so low levels of free kappa and lambda chains can be detected in the blood
Kappa Free Light Chain Test - Cleveland Clinic A kappa free light chain test checks for high levels of certain proteins in your blood You may need the test if you have a plasma cell disorder
Comparing domain interactions within antibody Fabs with kappa . . . IgG antibodies are multi-domain proteins with complex inter-domain interactions Human IgG heavy chains (HCs) associate with light chains (LCs) of the κ or λ isotype to form mature antibodies capable of binding antigen The HC LC interaction
Pathology Outlines - Kappa lambda light chains Kappa and lambda are immunoglobulin light chains Restricted expression of either kappa or lambda suggests monoclonality and a neoplastic process This topic discusses immunohistochemistry (IHC) or in situ hybridization (ISH) for these light chains; see Interference in protein electrophoresis for interferences in the serum measurements of light
