[Gammopathies with oligoclonal electrophoretic patterns. Incidence, immunochemical nature and association with neoplastic pathology].

Electrophoretic study of 680 cases of human sera containing monoclonal bands showed an oligoclonal pattern in 92 cases (13.5%). Immunoelectrophoretic analysis of 52 oligoclonal cases showed various patterns: polyclonal in 12 cases, monoclonal in 23 cases, monoclonal with associated Bence Jones proteinemia in four cases, and biclonal in only 13 cases.
