LOINC description : Daratumumab is a monoclonal antibody used to treat multiple myeloma, which is, itself,
a disease that results in antibody overproduction, shown as M protein band in immunoelectrophoresis.
Daratumumab, the treatment, can show up as part of the M spike and interfere with
the assay for the M-protein in multiple myeloma. An antibody against Daratumumab can
be added to the assay, which shifts the Daratumumab band, allowing the Daratumumab
band to be distinguished from the M-protein band and reported separately.;
