Advanced analysis to detect immune inflammation in the central nervous system, supporting early diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis and enabling more effective, proactive treatment strategies.
Scientific name: Oligoclonal Banding in Serum and CSF
Protein electrophoresis revealed the presence of oligoclonal domains (homogeneous antibodies) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) without serum. This separation between CSF and serum indicates local antibody production within the central nervous system, a strong indicator of chronic immune inflammation.
