None Detected

Ordering Recommendation

Aid in diagnosis of CNS demyelinating disease or autoimmune encephalitis. The presence of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody may be associated with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders including optic neuritis and transverse myelitis, brainstem encephalitis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. May be used in monitoring antibody persistence or treatment response in individuals who are antibody positive.

Interpretive Data

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody is found in a subset of patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders including optic neuritis and transverse myelitis, brainstem encephalitis, and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. Persistence of antibody positivity may be associated with a relapsing course. A negative test result does not rule out a diagnosis of CNS demyelinating disease. Results should be interpreted in correlation with the patients clinical history and other laboratory findings.

This indirect fluorescent antibody assay utilizes full-length MOG transfected cell lines for the detection and semiquantification of MOG IgG antibody.

Compliance Category

Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)

Note

If Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) Antibody, IgG by IFA with Reflex to Titer, Serum is positive, then a Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) Antibody Titer, IgG is performed. Additional charges apply.
