Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)
Note
PCCA/ANNA antibody IgG is screened by IFA. If the IFA screen is indeterminate, then a Neuronal Nuclear Antibodies (Hu) IgG by Immunoblot will be performed. If the IFA screen is positive at 1:10 or greater, then a PCCA/ANNA antibodies titer and Neuronal Nuclear Antibodies (Hu) IgG by Immunoblot will be performed. Additional charges apply.
If CASPR2 antibody IgG is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
If LGI1 antibody IgG is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
If CV2 antibody IgG is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
If DPPX antibody IgG by IFA is positive, then titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
