Paraprotein

A paraprotein is an abnormal protein in the urine or blood, most often associated with multiple myeloma[?].

These are immunoglobulins or immunoglobulin light-chains that are produced by the clonal proliferation of plasma cells[?]. Paraproteins form a narrow band, or 'spike' in protein electrophoresis[?] as they are all the exact same protein.

Light-chains in the urine are called Bence-Jones proteins[?].
