La monoclonalité est un élément diagnostic en faveur de la nature cancéreuse d’une prolifération cellulaire. Elle peut être mise en évidence par immunohistochimie au niveau des cellules plasmocytaires : une tumeur à différenciation plasmocytaire exprimant une seule chaîne légère d’immunoglobuline(kappa ou lambda) est maligne. La monoclonalité peut également être mise en évidence par des techniques de biologie moléculaire utiles pour le diagnostic de certains lymphomes. 3, record 2, French, - monoclonalit%C3%A9

In a process called "molecular combing", DNA molecules attached at one end to a solid surface were extended and aligned by a receding air-water interface and left to dry on the surface. Molecular combing was observed to extend the length of the bacteriophage Lambda DNA molecule to 21.5+/-0.5 micrometers (unextended length, 16.2 micrometers). 1, record 4, English, - molecular%20combing
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
With the combing process, it was possible to: (i) extend a chromosomal Escherichia coli DNA fragment (10^6 base pairs) and (ii) detect a minute quantity of DNA (10^3 molecules). These results open the way for a faster physical mapping of the genome and for the detection of small quantities of target DNA from a population of molecules. 1, record 4, English, - molecular%20combing

Le peignage moléculaire de l’ADN, découvert en 1994, repose sur deux principes simples : l’ancrage spécifique, dans des conditions physico-chimiques précises, de molécules individuelles d’ADN par leurs extrémités sur des surfaces traitées ou non; la force de traction développée par un ménisque en mouvement; c’est-à-dire la force exercée sur tout objet placée sur la ligne de contact d’une solution avec une surface, lors du déplacement de cette ligne. 3, record 4, French, - peignage%20mol%C3%A9culaire
