Distributions of CD138 concentrations a.) Box and Whisker plot depicting the distribution of CD138 serum concentrations in Intact Immunoglobulin Multiple Myeloma Patients and Light Chain Multiple Myeloma patients. Data in the graph depict the following values: *Intact Immunoglobulin Multiple Myeloma (Median = 30.5). **Light Chain Multiple Myeloma (Mean = 24.5). b.) Scatter plot depicting CD138 concentrations among the two groups of patients compared to healthy controls. (Intact Immunoglobulin Multiple Myeloma vs Light Chain Multiple Myeloma P = 0.012; Intact Immunoglobulin Multiple Myeloma vs Controls P < 0.0001; Light Chain Multiple Myeloma vs Controls P = 0.006). Data in the graph depict the following values: *Intact Immunoglobulin Multiple Myeloma (Mean = 90.73, SEM = 15.63, SD = 103.80). **Light Chain Multiple Myeloma (Mean = 40.21, SEM = 9.47, SD = 55.22). ***Controls (Mean = 15, SEM = 1.43, SD = 9.02). (P values were calculated by Student’s Unpaired t-test).
