Interpretive Data

Refer to report 

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. This test was performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory and is intended for clinical purposes.

Compliance Category

Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)

Note

Purkinje Cell (PCCA) antibody and Neuronal Nuclear (ANNA) antibody IgG are screened by IFA. If the IFA screen is indeterminate, then a Neuronal Nuclear Antibodies (Hu, Ri, Yo, Tr/DNER) IgG by Immunoblot will be added. If the IFA screen is positive at 1:1 or greater, then a PCCA/ANNA antibodies titer and Neuronal Nuclear Antibodies (Hu, Ri, Yo, Tr/DNER) IgG by Immunoblot will be added. Additional charges apply.
If CV2.1 Antibody IgG Screen by IFA is positive, then CV2.1 Antibody IgG Titer by IFA will be added. Additional charges apply.
