Oligoclonal Bands (OCB) – Paired Serum & CSF (HM0077)

Description

Oligoclonal Bands (OCB) Test – Paired Serum & CSF is a specialized diagnostic test used to detect immunoglobulin bands in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum, helping identify central nervous system (CNS) inflammation and immune activity. It is primarily used in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and other neurological disorders such as chronic infections and autoimmune diseases. Paired analysis of CSF and serum samples improves diagnostic accuracy by distinguishing intrathecal antibody production from systemic responses. This test is essential for neurological evaluation and disease monitoring.
