Biochem/physiol Actions

Immunoglobulin κ constant (IGKC) is a human gene that encodes the constant domain of κ-type light chains for antibodies. It is found on chromosome 2 in humans. IGKC acts as a strong prognostic marker in several human solid tumors, including breast cancer. Its expression may have a role for humoral immunity in breast cancer progression. IGKC is also found to be expressed in non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) and may act as a prognostic marker in NSCLC, supporting emerging treatment concepts that exploit the humoral immune response. Its has an independent protective impact on disease-free survival (DFS) and breast cancer-specific overall survival in node-negative breast cancer. IGKC acts as a novel diagnostic marker for risk stratification in human cancer and may help to exploit the humoral immune response for anticancer therapy.

Immunoglobulin κ constant (IGKC) gene has recently been identified as a strong prognostic marker in several human solid tumors, including breast cancer. Although the mechanisms underlying the IGKC signature are not yet known, identification of tumor-infiltrating plasma cells as the

A prognostic impact of immunoglobulin kappa C (IGKC) expression has been described in cancer. We analysed the influence of B-cell and plasma cell markers, as well as IGKC expression, in non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) using immunohistochemistry on a tissue microarray.

Although the central role of the immune system for tumor prognosis is generally accepted, a single robust marker is not yet available. On the basis of receiver operating characteristic analyses, robust markers were identified from a 60-gene B cell-derived metagene

Biomarkers of the immune system are currently not used as prognostic factors in breast cancer. We analyzed the association of the B cell/plasma cell marker immunoglobulin kappa C (IGKC) and survival of untreated node-negative breast cancer patients. IGKC expression was
