Abstract

Determination of serum free light chains (FLC) is established as standard for diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma (MM) and other plasma cell dyscrasias. In 2014, the revised IMWG criteria implemented the serum free light chain ratio of involved FLC (iFLC) / non-involved FLC (niFLC) > 100 as a biomarker defining MM requiring treatment. This recommendation was based on Freelite assay, which relies on polyclonal antisera. Additionally, the monoclonal N-Latex FLC assay and more recently, the polyclonal Sebia FLC assay are available and approved for determination of FLC.
