Clinicopathological correlates of CD56 expression in multiple myeloma: a unique entity?

British Journal of Haematology

Abstract

Prior studies have suggested that loss of plasma cell CD56 expression in multiple myeloma defines a unique patient subset and that CD56 expression reliably discriminates between monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and multiple myeloma (MM). We conducted a study of 68 untreated patients with MM from a single institution to define the clinicopathological correlates of CD56 expression. We find CD56 expression in 55% of MM. Lack of CD56 expression does not define a unique clinicopathological or prognostic entity in MM. Strong CD56 expression can also be found in MGUS and does not help to distinguish from MM.

Cell Adhesion Molecules in the Brain

Cell adhesion molecules found on cell surface help cells bind with other cells or the extracellular matrix to maintain structure and function. Here is the latest research on their role in the brain.
