Question 1

Patients with multiple myeloma (MM)have defects in ______________ but not in _____________.

Accepted Answer

Patients with MM have defects in humoral but not cellular immunity.Humoral immunity is disrupted because plasma cell tumors induce the suppression of antibody synthesis by normal immunoglobulin-secreting cells,and the production of antiidiotype antibodies declines proportionately.In addition,selective impairment occurs in the formation of normal antibodies because of increased immunoglobulin catabolism and the release of a protein that incites macrophages to suppress the synthesis of normal immunoglobulins by myeloma cells.The depression of normal humoral immunity accounts for the high susceptibility of patients with MM to bacterial infection.The normal functioning of cellular immunity is demonstrated by normal resistance to fungal and most viral infections and by normal,delayed-type hypersensitivity to skin-testing antigens.

Question 3

The difference in antibody class between multiple myeloma (MM)and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM)is that the most common form of MM displays _________,but WM displays ____________.

Accepted Answer

Immunoglobulin G (IgG)myeloma is the most common form of MM.WM is a malignant lymphocyte-plasma cell proliferative disorder that exhibits abnormally large amounts of immunoglobulin of the 19S IgM type.

Question 4

Multiple myeloma is the most common form of dysproteinemia.It accounts for (1)_______% of all types of malignant diseases and (2)_______% of hematologic malignancies.
A)1
B)10
C)15
D)25

Accepted Answer

The answer of Multiple myeloma is the most common form...

Question 5

Match the types of cryoglobulin with the correct description.

-Type III

Accepted Answer

Type III cryoglobulins are mixed cryoglobulins where both constituent immunoglobulins are polyclonal, often containing IgM rheumatoid factor and IgG, and are associated with autoimmune diseases and persistent infections.
