Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Lambda Free Light Chain antibody [3D12] (AB1944)

IHC image of Lambda Free Light Chain staining in Human normal tonsil formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab1944, 5μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Lambda Free Light Chain also known as lambda light chain or lambda FLC represents an essential component of immunoglobulin molecules. These polypeptide chains typically have a molecular weight of approximately 22.5 kDa. Lambda free light chains are expressed by B cells in the bone marrow and lymphoid tissues. They eventually appear in the bloodstream where they circulate as part of the broader immune response.
Biological function summary

Free lambda light chains contribute to the assembly of immunoglobulin molecules by forming dimers with heavy chains. They participate in the adaptive immune system's ability to identify and neutralize pathogens. Lambda FLCs operate as part of immunoglobulin G (IgG) complexes which enhance immune response efficiency. When synthesized in excess they are secreted into the bloodstream helping mediate various immune functions.

Pathways

Lambda FLC plays a role in the antibody-mediated immune response and complement activation pathways. In these pathways lambda light chains interact with other immunoglobulin molecules to initiate pathogen opsonization and clearance. Connections with proteins like immunoglobulin heavy chain exemplify their involvement in complex immune cascades that defend the host against infections.

An elevated level of lambda free light chains often indicates multiple myeloma or light chain amyloidosis. In multiple myeloma abnormal plasma cells produce excess lambda FLC disrupting normal blood cell production. The condition associates with proteins such as Bence Jones proteins composed of excess light chains that can be detected in urine and serve as important diagnostic markers.
