LaboratoryCV2 IgG Ab [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by Immunoblot
Definition
CV2 IgG in cerebrospinal fluid (CFS) can be detected by western blot assays and is highly recommended for evaluating patients with subacute unexplained basal ganglionic disorders (chorea/Parkinsonism hemi-ballismus), cranial neuropathies (particularly loss of vision, smell or taste), myelopathies, and radiculoplexopathies. CV2-IgG is also a sensitive confirmatory marker for thymoma and lung carcinoma (SCLC-small cell lung carcinomas).
