For survival, the emergence of oligoclonal bands after multiple myeloma treatment is less important than achieving complete remission

Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia
Background: The emergence of oligoclonal bands, proteins differing from those originally identified at diagnosis, has been reported in multiple myeloma patients after high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation and after ...

CSF Testing for Multiple Sclerosis [PDF]

, 2005
New diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS) were published in 2001 by McDonald and colleagues. These criteria take account of the clinical features, brain and spinal-cord MRI findings, CSF findings, and visual evoked-potential studies.

Oligoclonal bands as predictors of multiple sclerosis in clinically isolated syndrome

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2018
Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS) is the first episode of inflammatory and demyelinating symptoms. According to the classification criteria of multiple sclerosis (MS) from 2013, CIS is defined as the first clinical manifestation of the disease. McDonald'

Chemiluminescent detection of oligoclonal immunoglobulins after isoelectric focusing and affinity-mediated immunoblotting

Biomedical Papers, 2018
Background and Aims: Detection of oligoclonal IgG (o-IgG) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) not found in serum is the principal laboratory test to support a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.

Cholesterol levels in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid in patients with clinically isolated syndrome and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis

Neurobiology of Disease, 2022
Cholesterol is essential for myelin formation, but may also modulate mechanisms involved in adaptive immune responses. It is unclear whether lack of remyelination in multiple sclerosis (MS) results from an insufficient capacity of oligodendrocyte ...

Polyspecific, antiviral immune response distinguishes multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica [PDF]

, 1887
Background: A polyspecific, intrathecal humoral immune response against neurotropic viruses such as measles, rubella and varicella zoster virus (MRZ reaction, MRZR) is present in 80--100% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), but has not to date been

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).

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].
