In mammals, the two light chains in an antibody are always identical, with only one type of light chain, kappa or lambda.
The ratio of Kappa to Lambda is 70:30.
However, with the occurrence of multiple myeloma or other B-cell malignancies this ratio is disturbed.
Antibody to the lambda light chain is reportedly useful in the identification of leukemias, plasmacytomas, and certain non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
Demonstration of clonality in lymphoid infiltrates indicates that the infiltrate is malignant.
