CSF/serum ratios: modern approach to assess intrathecal response [PDF]
CSF/serum ratios are the quotients of protein concentrations between the cerebrospinal fluid and blood serum. This method provides an objective assessment of proteins amount and origin in the cerebrospinal fluid.

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.

The role of antibody indexes in clinical virology [PDF]
Background: Serological techniques are an essential part of the diagnostic tools used in clinical virology. Among these techniques, antibody indexes are not novel, but do require specific expertise.

Intrathecal IgG Synthesis: A Resistant and Valuable Target for Future Multiple Sclerosis Treatments
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

The number of people afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other types of dementing conditions has grown exponentially in the last decades. This review focuses on the diagnostic role of the classic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of neurochemical dementia diagnostics (NDD) and critically discusses potential strategies for the development and

A sex‐dependent algorithm including kappa free light chain for multiple sclerosis diagnosis
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.
