DIAGNOSTIC AND PROGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF INTRATHECAL SYNTHESIS OF IMMUNOGLOBULIN FREE LIGHT CHAINS IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

Increased intrathecal synthesis and oligoclonal banding of immunoglobulins (Ig) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are major immunological findings in multiple sclerosis. Free light chains are fragments of Ig molecules that are produced in parallel to oligoclonal Ig, and their production reflects total Ig...
