Monitoring of multiple myeloma and bone marrow fibrosis with aminoterminal propeptide of type III collagen (PIIINP).

abstract：:The surface markers of immunoglobulin secreting cells (ISC) in bone marrow and peripheral blood were analysed. Circulating ISC bear surface Ig and Ia-like antigens. However, these markers were not detectable on ISC in bone marrow. Fc and complement receptors were not present on circulating ISC. The areas of plaques co...
