53715-9
LaboratoryParaneoplastic Ab [Presence] in Cerebral spinal fluid by Immunoblot
Definition
Paraneoplastic Autoantibody Cerobrospinal Fluid (CSF) Qualitative test by Immunoblot (Western Blot). Western blot testing is indicated in the infrequent situation that interference by coexisting nonneuronal-specific autoantibodies precludes IFA (Immunofluorescence Assay) interpretation. It is not cost-effective for routine serological screening. Information from Mayo Medical Laboratory, https://mmlaccess.com, accessed 2008 02 18. Paraneoplastic syndromes are autoantibody-mediated neurologic disorders associated with underlying tumors. These syndromes arise when systemic tumors express antigens normally found only in neural tissues.
