CSF Free Light Chains as a Marker of Intrathecal Immunoglobulin Synthesis in Multiple Sclerosis: A Blood-CSF Barrier Related Evaluation in a Large Cohort

CSF Free Light Chains as a Marker of Intrathecal Immunoglobulin Synthesis in Multiple Sclerosis: A Blood-CSF Barrier Related Evaluation in a Large Cohort

Objectives: The importance of immunoglobulin G (IgG) oligoclonal bands (OCB) in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) was reaffirmed again in the recently revised MS diagnostic criteria. Since OCB testing is based on non-quantitative techniques and demands considerable methodological experience,...
