Images Evaluated for CSF Electrophoresis of IgG Bands
Multiple sclerosis (MS) involves inflammatory lesions of white matter in the central nervous system (CNS) that spread over time. In MS immune reactions lead to intrathecal synthesis of specific immunoglobulins (IgGs) that can be detected in biological fluid samples both quantitatively and qualitatively by isoelectric focusing of supplementary oligoclonal IgG bands.

Urine Test Developed for Accurate TB Detection
An accurate screening test for active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is urgently needed for patients who are not co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Worldwide, TB is one of the most prevalent bacterial infections, with the highest mortality in developing countries. More...28 Dec 2017
Researchers Decode Toxoplasmosis’ Control of Immune Cells
The infection toxoplasmosis is caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii and is widely spread. It is estimated that 30%-50% of the global human population are carriers. Cats are the parasites' main host, but the infection is also spread among other animals, including humans. More...20 Dec 2017
Blood Test Monitors Nerve Protein in MS Patients
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in which neuronal damage is present at an early stage. Due to both unpredictable and heterogeneous disease course and treatment response, biomarkers reflecting these processes are highly sought after. More...12 Dec 2017
Physicians Perform Fewer Prostate Biopsies Post-Phi Testing
Prostate cancer is the third-leading cause of cancer death in men, with one in seven receiving a diagnosis during his lifetime. In 2017, approximately 161,360 new cases of prostate cancer were identified, with 60% of those occurring in men 65 years of age or older. More...04 Dec 2017
New Immunoassays Measures Beta-Amyloid 42 in CSF
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) β-amyloid (Aβ) 42 and amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) have proved to have high diagnostic accuracy for Alzheimer disease (AD) years before the onset of clinical symptoms and are becoming an important part of the diagnostic workup. More...30 Nov 2017
