متن کاملThe cerebrospinal fluid in multiple sclerosis: far beyond the bands
The cerebrospinal fluid analysis has been employed for supporting multiple sclerosis diagnosis and ruling out the differential diagnoses. The most classical findings reflect the inflammatory nature of the disease, including mild pleocytosis, mild protein increase, intrathecal synthesis of immunoglobulin G, and, most typically, the presence of oligoclonal bands. In recent years, new biomarkers h...
متن کاملOligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluids: significance of corresponding bands in serum for diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
Controversy exists regarding the definition of oligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and whether CSF bands with corresponding bands in the serum should be disregarded in the interpretation. Much of this controversy results from not distinguishing between the sensitivities of different techniques used for these studies. Because the combination isoelectric focusing/silver staining is mor...
متن کاملOligoclonal Bands in Cerebrospinal Fluid of Black Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Genetic susceptibility is a well-recognized factor in the onset of multiple sclerosis (MS). The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of oligoclonal bands (OCB) restricted to the cerebrospinal fluid, in an ethnically mixed group of MS patients in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Techniques used to detect OCB consisted of isoelectric focusing followed by immunoblotting. OCB were f...
متن کاملCerebrospinal fluid oligoclonal bands in childhood opsoclonus-myoclonus.
Oligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluid reflect local B-cell responses associated with various neuroinflammatory disorders. In opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome, cerebrospinal fluid B-cell expansion was demonstrated, but no studies of oligoclonal bands are available. In a prospective case-control study of 132 children (103 with opsoclonus-myoclonus, 29 neurologic control subjects), cerebrospinal f...
