| Which of the following conditions is most likely when an oligoclonal band is seen in CSF electrophoresis without a corresponding serum peak? | View Page |
| IEF Advantages and Applications IEF's greatest advantage is its high resolution, resulting in greater separation of solutes. IEF of serum proteins results in many more bands; these bands are sharper because each pH region is very narrow. Performing IEF is easier because the placement of sample application is not important. The sample and ampholytes can be mixed before application; the ampholytes will migrate, create the gradient, and then the proteins separate and migrate.Some isoenzymes and variant hemoglobins in prenatal screening are separated with IEF. Detection of oligoclonal bands in gamma-globulin is a newer use of IEF. IEF is commonly used as one of the separations in two-dimensional electrophoresis. | View Page |
| Currently there has been a revitalization in the clinical usage of electrophoresis. Previously, methods were primarily used to separate proteins in blood and other body fluids. From the following statements, select the statements that correctly describe newer applications of electrophoresis. | View Page |
