A higher plasmocytes ratio (> 0.15) is also found in multiple myeloma, plasma cell leukemia and bone marrow cancers specifically involving plasmocytes.

Sometimes, however, a plasma cell may become malignant.

Antibody produced by or derived from a single type (clone) of plasma cell

Normal bone marrow contains about 2-3% plasma cells; in people with multiple myeloma, abnormal plasma cells can make up at least 10% of the cells in the bone marrow.

Plasma cells make up 5% or less of the cells in the bone marrow.

Multiple myeloma is a cancer of blood plasma cells in which abnormal plasma cells multiply uncontrollably in the bone marrow and occasionally in other parts of the body.

Possible increase in the level of monocytes and the appearance of plasma cells.

Active or prior plasma cell leukemia (defined as either 20% of peripheral WBC comprised of plasma/CD138+ cells or an absolute count of 2 x 10^9/L).

A Myeloma is a tumor of the plasma cells present in the blood.

These organs house typical immune cells (granulocytes, lymphocytes and plasma cells).

The plasma cells of the control patients were highly similar within and across individuals, basically showing a single, common blue print of normal plasma cells.

All these organs house typical immune cells (granulocytes, lymphocytes and plasma cells).

Sixty percent or greater clonal plasma cells on bone marrow examination

Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells wherein abnormal cells multiply uncontrollably in the bone marrow and occasionally in other parts of the body.
