Introduction In this case study, we summarize a retrospective comparison of EasyM and Euroflow NGF for MRD in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. Minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity is a critical measure of therapeutic response in multiple myeloma (MM) and is strongly associated with improved progression-free and overall survival. The IMWG (International [...]

Current improvements in multiple myeloma treatment created the need to monitor minimal residual disease (MRD) with high sensitivity. Measuring residual levels of [...]
Zac McDonald, Paul Taylor, Mariya Liyasova, Qixin Liu, Bin Ma DOI: 10.1021/acs.jproteome.0c01022 Publication Summary The amino acid sequence of the M-protein for multiple myeloma is unique compared to the polyclonal antibodies in patients’ blood. This uniqueness is exploited to develop an ultrasensitive M-protein detection method utilizing mass spectrometry (MS). This study demonstrates [...]
