Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers Free Light Chain Assay in Himmatnagar to check for any abnormality in plasma cells present in the blood sample.
Overview of Free Light Chain Assay
A free light chain assay is done to diagnose or monitor plasma cell disorders. Light chains are proteins that are produced by plasma cells, which are a kind of white blood cell (immune system). Immunoglobulins are produced by plasma cells when the light chains combine with heavy chains, to form what is called as bound light chains.
Plasma cells normally produce a small amount of additional light chains that do not connect with heavy chains and instead are released freely into the bloodstream. These unbound chains are referred to as free light chains, of which there exist 2 types: kappa and lambda
