THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MYELOMA-LIKE CONDITION IN MINK WITH ALEUTIAN DISEASE.

摘要: Aleutian disease of mink, apparently viral etiology, is characterized by an extreme diffuse proliferation plasma cells, and a marked hypergammaglobulinemia, which electrophoretically heterogeneous. In some mink with this serially followed serum protein electrophoresis, transition to homogeneous myeloma-like together the appearance Bence Jones proteinuria, was observed late in their course. Thus, shows cell beginning as multiclonal hyperplasia may terminate monoclonal, possibly neoplastic overgrowth system.
