Characterisation and relevance of CD138‐negative plasma cells in plasma cell myeloma

Abstract: We have characterised the CD138⁻ PCs as more immature and with a significantly higher proliferative potential. The current trend to ignore this more immature and proliferative subpopulation of malignant PCs may have serious implications when determining gene expression, classifications and drug sensitivity of the malignancy.

“…Consequently, circulating PCs are also classified according to the presence or absence of CD138 apart from the maturation based classification of normal PCs mentioned above (27). The circulating CD138 -PCs are thought to be plasma blasts as they express CD45, CD20, CD19 and human leukocyte antigen (hLA)-class II and more actively proliferating (5,47,48) (Fig. 1).…”
