Speaker: Vanderlene Kung

Description: At the end of the session, participants will be able to:

  1. Describe differences between polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to IgG subclasses
  2. Describe why choice of antibodies influences the results of IgG subclass staining, especially for IgG1
  3. Identify how IgG subclass staining aids in diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy-related kidney lesions, as well as kidney lesions with monotypic deposits
