Abstract
Monoclonal immunoglobulin (M-protein) production can occur in a number of myeloma related diseases (MRD) in domestic animals, including multiple myeloma (MM), extramedullary plasmacytomas, solitary osseous plasmacytoma, IgM Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma, immunoglobulin secreting lymphomas and leukemias, and plasma cell leukemia. This thesis seeks to improve upon the current knowledge of MRDs by examining diagnostic methods, possible biases (such as hyperproteinemia), and by describing a large population of dogs and cats with confirmed M-proteins. Differentiation of ...
