Immunology And Serology Tests

Ganglioside antibody tests are used to detect antibodies that target gangliosides, which are glycolipids found in nerve cell membranes. These tests help diagnose neuropathies and autoimmune disorders affecting the nervous system.

The GM1 antibody test is used to detect antibodies against GM1 gangliosides. These antibodies are associated with several neurological disorders, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome and multifocal motor neuropathy.

The GQ1b antibody test is a blood test used to detect the presence of antibodies against GQ1b gangliosides. These antibodies are associated with certain neurological conditions, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome and Miller Fisher syndrome. The test helps in diagnosing these conditions by identifying the specific antibodies in a patient's blood.

The PAX8 test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of PAX8 protein in tissue samples. It helps identify various cancer types and plays a crucial role in cancer diagnosis.

The ribosomal P antibody test detects autoantibodies targeting ribosomal phosphoproteins, associated with certain autoimmune diseases.

A positive histone antibodies test may indicate autoimmune or drug-induced lupus, where the immune system targets histone proteins in the cell nucleus.

The range of anti-A titers can vary depending on the laboratory and test methods used. Typically, anti-A titers are reported as a numerical value, and the interpretation may depend on the specific test and context. High titers may indicate a strong immune response or a recent infection. Consult your healthcare provider for precise reference ranges.
