Looking to book a Kappa Lambda Test in Kolkata? Read below to know about them.
Kappa and Gamma are two kinds of Free Light Chains. Free light Chains are a protein that is constructed from a kind of white blood cells known as Plasma Cells. These plasma cells are also responsible for the creation of immunoglobulins which are antibodies, responsible for protecting the body against infections. Immunoglobulins are created by the linking up of light chains and heavy chains. When these two kinds of chains link up, they are known as bound chains. Plasma cells create a few extra light chains in the body which do not link with the heavy free chains and are thus known as free light chains. Higher or lower amounts of free light chains could indicate a disorder.
