title: [Western blotting analysis of cryoglobulins associated with chronic hepatitis C].
abstract: In a prospective study, a monoclonal component was found in 29/89 (33%) of mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, with a IgM in 87% of cases and a Kappa/Lambda ratio at 1.8. HCV RNA anti-HCV antibodies were demonstrated in both MC with and without monoclonal component.
