Brain MRI in patients with multiple sclerosis with oligoclonal cerebrospinal fluid bands [PDF]
Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2003 Locally produced oligoclonal IgG bands (OCB) are present in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 95% patients with multiple sclerosis (MS)[2,3]. The most sensitive method for the detection of OCB is isoelectric focusing (IEF) [1].

Antibodies in multiple sclerosis oligoclonal bands target debris [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2016 IgG oligoclonal bands (OCB) are detected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of more than 90% of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and are considered the immunological hallmark that supports MS diagnosis. OCB are not unique to MS but are also observed in chronic CNS infections, where they target their causative agents (1⇓–3).

"AN ESTIMATION OF OLIGOCLONAL BANDS IN PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS" [PDF]
Acta Medica Iranica, 2004 Oligoclonal bands (OCB) can be detected in a significant percentage (90%) of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), however, a much lower percentage has been reported in some studies, mainly from oriental countries.

Real‐World Performance of CSF Kappa Free Light Chains in the 2024 McDonald Criteria
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Kappa free light chains (KFLCs) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) have a similar performance to CSF‐restricted oligoclonal bands (OCB) for multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis. To help with implementation, we set out to resolve several remaining uncertainties: (1) performance in a real‐world cohort and the 2024 McDonald criteria; (2 ...
