Journal of Neurochemistry, Volume 159, Issue 3, Page 618-628, November 2021., 2021 We investigated the sensitivity, specificity, and overall diagnostic accuracy of Kappa Free Light Chain (KFLC)‐index in multiple sclerosis (MS). KFLC‐index was prospectively determined as part of the diagnostic workup in patients with suspected MS (n = 327) between May 2013 and February 2020.

Intrathecal IgG Synthesis: A Resistant and Valuable Target for Future Multiple Sclerosis Treatments
Multiple Sclerosis International, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Intrathecal IgG synthesis is a key biological feature of multiple sclerosis (MS). When acquired early, it persists over time. A growing body of evidence suggests that intrathecal Ig‐secreting cells may be pathogenic either by a direct action of toxic IgG or by locally secreting bystander toxic products. Intrathecal IgG synthesis depends on the presence

A sex‐dependent algorithm including kappa free light chain for multiple sclerosis diagnosis
Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, Volume 100, Issue 6, December 2024.K‐index and Q KFLC showed good accuracy in MS diagnosis when studied distinguishing between sexes, similar to OCB. The combined sex‐dependent algorithm including K‐index, Q KFLC and OCB yields the highest diagnostic accuracy in multiple sclerosis diagnosis.
