Usefulness of antibody index assessment in cerebrospinal fluid from patients negative for total-IgG oligoclonal bands

BACKGROUND: Testing for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-restricted oligoclonal bands (OCB) by isoelectric focusing is used to detect intrathecally produced total IgG. By contrast, antibody indices (AI) are assessed to test for intrathecally produced antigen-specific IgG. A number of previous cases reports...
