Tests that measure Immunoglobulins Panel

Protein Electrophoresis Panel 1

Laboratory: Quest Diagnostics
Test code: 38940
Specimen: Serum
Fasting: Required

What the laboratory says this test is for

Serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) is an analytical technique that provides separation of serum protein into six fractions: Albumin, Alpha-1, Alpha-2, Beta-1, Beta-2, and Gamma. Interpretation of elevation, decreased, or visual change in different fractions can be used as a diagnostic aid for a variety of different disease states and protein abnormalities, including monoclonal gammopathies (MG).

Motor Neuropathy Complete Antibody Panel

Laboratory: Quest Diagnostics
Test code: 90137
Specimen: Serum
Fasting: Required

What the laboratory says this test is for

The panel includes ganglioside antibodies associated with motor neuropathies. Many of the anti-ganglioside antibodies associated with chronic immune neuropathies are monoclonal IgM antibodies. An evaluation for monoclonal gammopathy should be performed in this setting.

Immunofixation IFE and Immunoglobulins Panel IgG IgA IgM Serum

Laboratory: Quest Diagnostics
Test code: 37669
Specimen: Serum
Fasting: Required

What the laboratory says this test is for

Immunofixation is useful in characterizing M components identified by protein electrophoresis. Quantitation of immunoglobulins provides an assessment of the magnitude and measure for monitoring the M component.
