The consensus seems to be that plasma cells probably represent transitional forms of lymphocytes, as had been suggested by the work of Sundberg3 and others,4 and that both are capable of synthesizing abnormal serum proteins.Although serum proteins of the myeloma type have occasionally been reported in...Bibliography1.
