A comparison of cellulose acetate immunofixation with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for the detection of oligoclonal bands in unconcentrated cerebrospinal fluid.

چکیده
Two methods of electrophoresis for the detection of oligoclonal bands in unconcentrated CSF were compared. A sample of 98 routine CSFs yielded 18 positives by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) while cellulose acetate electrophoresis with immunofixation (CAIF) gave 13 positives (72% of the PAGE findings). Despite the loss of sensitivity the cellulose acetate electrophoresis was easier to interpret and more suited to a routine hospital laboratory.

Silver staining of unconcentrated cerebrospinal fluid in agarose gel (Panagel) electrophoresis.
We subjected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 20 patients with multiple sclerosis and 20 patients with other neurological diseases to agarose gel ( Panagel ) electrophoresis followed by staining with silver. Ten microliters of unconcentrated CSF from multiple sclerosis patients containing 0.4 to 0.8 microgram of immunoglobulin G was found to be optimum for detection of oligoclonal IgG bands, so i...
متن کاملInterpretation of cerebrospinal fluid proteins by gel electrophoresis.
The use of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) for the separation of proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) results in greater definition than does a "routine" method such as cellulose acetate electrophoresis. Unconcentrated CSF is easily separated into as many as 18 bands by the use of PAGE. By means of a modified PAGE method described in this paper, unconcentrated and untreated CSF is qu...
متن کاملAn improved polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic method for demonstration of oligoclonal bands of immunoglobulin G in cerebrospinal fluid.
A two-step procedure is described in which analytical disc gel electrophoresis in polyacrylamide is used to demonstrate oligoclonal bands of immunoglobulin G in cerebrospinal fluid. The principal advantage of the procedure is that unconcentrated samples of cerebrospinal fluid as small as 200 fiL can be assayed. The results obtained in samples from 100 patients with various neurologic diseases s...
متن کاملDetection of IgG oligoclonal bands in unconcentrated CSF by isoelectric focusing in ultrathin polyacrylamide gel, direct antiserum immunofixation and silver nitrate staining.
Isoelectric focusing of proteins in ultrathin polyacrylamide gel (0.4 mm), followed by direct immunofixation with monospecific antisera and silver nitrate staining, is a highly specific, sensitive and simple method for the detection of oligoclonal IgG in unconcentrated CSF samples. The ultrathin polyacrylamide gels have several advantages, i.e. significantly smaller amounts of reagents are requ...
متن کاملDetection and classification of paraproteins by capillary immunofixation/subtraction.
A selection of 58 specimens with a monoclonal component identified by immunoelectrophoresis and/or immunofixation was analyzed with the immunosubtraction procedure on the Paragon 2000 capillary electrophoresis system. The capillary system detected 93% of the paraproteins and, using immunosubtraction, correctly identified 91% of the paraproteins. Paraproteins that were detected by immunofixation...
