Panels that include this biomarker

  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Profile 123075

    9 analytes · Serum · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 3 - 6 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Oligoclonal banding: IEF; CSF IgG, CSF albumin, and serum IgG: immunologic; serum albumin: spectrophotometry; synthesis rate, ratio, and index by calculation
    Collection
    Collect serum and CSF at the same time. Avoid contaminating CSF with blood. Centrifuge CSF at 1500xg for 20 minutes and place the supernatant into separate tubes. Ensure that residual fibrin and cellular matter have been removed.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
