Ordering Recommendation

Preferred test in the workup of multiple sclerosis. Detect unique IgG oligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in conjunction with a matched serum specimen. Calculate CSF IgG index.

Interpretive Data



No compliance statements are in use for this test.

Note

Specimens must be assayed together for interpretation.
A patient is considered positive for CSF oligoclonal bands if there are two or more bands in the CSF immunoglobulin region that are not present in the serum. In order to confirm local production of oligoclonal IgG in CSF, a matched serum sample is required. Oligoclonal bands present in CSF, but not in serum, indicate central nervous system production. Oligoclonal bands are performed using isoelectric focusing and immunofixation.
