Never heard of it. Looked up on several reference links and no matches.

hkhkhnm,mbnvbcbcbcbbbbbbbbbbbb. jkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk,
hey that was my answer:Paraproteinemia is the presence of a monoclonal gammopathy in the blood.from wikipedia!!
Paraproteinemia is the presence of a monoclonal gammopathy in the blood.
Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are antibodies that are identical because they were produced by one type of immune cell, all clones of a single parent cell. Given (almost) any substance, it is possible to create monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to that substance; they can then serve to detect or purify that substance. This has become an important tool in biochemistry, molecular biology and medicine.Gamma globulins are a class of proteins in the blood, identified by their position after serum protein electrophoresis. The most significant gamma globulins are antibodies.Gamma globulin injections are sometimes given in an attempt to temporarily boost a patient's immunity against disease. Injections are most commonly used on patients who have been exposed to hepatitis A or measles. Injections are also used to boost immunity in patients who lack the ability to produce gamma globulins because of an immune deficiency, such as X-linked agammaglobulinemia and hyper IgM deficiency. Such injections are less common in modern medical practice than they were previously, and injections of gamma globulin previously recommended for travellers have largely been replaced by the use of hepatitis A vaccine.
