Test Code MAS1M Myelopathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

Additional Codes

Mayo Test ID
MAS1

EPIC Test ID
LAB3749


Ordering Guidance


Multiple neurological phenotype-specific autoimmune/paraneoplastic evaluations are available. For more information as well as phenotype-specific testing options, see Autoimmune Neurology Test Ordering Guide.

 

When more than one evaluation is ordered on the same order number, the duplicate test will be canceled.

 

For a list of antibodies performed with each evaluation, see Autoimmune Neurology Antibody Matrix.

 

This test should not be requested for patients who have recently received radioisotopes, therapeutically or diagnostically, because of potential assay interference. The specific waiting period before specimen collection will depend on the isotope administered, the dose given, and the clearance rate in the individual patient. Specimens will be screened for radioactivity prior to analysis. Radioactive specimens received in the laboratory will be held 1 week and assayed if sufficiently decayed or canceled if radioactivity remains.



Necessary Information


Provide the following information:

-Relevant clinical information

-Ordering provider name, phone number, mailing address, and e-mail address



Specimen Required


For optimal antibody detection, specimen collection is recommended prior to initiation of immunosuppressant medication or intravenous immunoglobulin treatment.

Testing Algorithm

If the indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) patterns suggest antiglial nuclear antibody (AGNA)-1, then the AGNA-1 immunoblot and AGNA-1 IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the IFA patterns suggest amphiphysin antibody, then the amphiphysin immunoblot and amphiphysin IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the IFA pattern suggests antineuronal nuclear antibody type 1 (ANNA-1), then the ANNA-1 IFA titer, ANNA-1 immunoblot, and ANNA-2 immunoblot will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the IFA pattern suggests ANNA-2 antibodies, then the ANNA-2 IFA titer, ANNA-2 immunoblot, and ANNA-1 immunoblot will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the client requests or the IFA pattern suggests ANNA-3 antibodies, then the ANNA-3 IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the IFA pattern suggests adaptor protein 3 beta 2 (AP3B2) antibodies, then the AP3B2 cell-binding assay (CBA) and AP3B2 IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the CRMP-5-IgG Western blot is positive, then the CRMP-5-IgG IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the IFA pattern suggests Purkinje cytoplasmic antibody type 1 (PCA-1), then the PCA-1 immunoblot and PCA-1 IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the IFA pattern suggests PCA-2 antibody, then the PCA-2 IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If gamma-aminobutyric acid B (GABA-B) receptor antibody CBA result is positive, then the GABA-B-receptor antibody IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the dipeptidyl-peptidase-like protein-6 (DPPX) antibody CBA result is positive, then the DPPX antibody IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the IFA pattern suggests metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 (mGluR1) antibody, then the mGluR1antibody CBA and mGluR1 antibody IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the IFA pattern suggests glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibody, then the GFAP antibody CBA and GFAP antibody IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the neuromyelitis optica/aquaporin-4-IgG (NMO/AQP4-IgG) fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) screen assay requires further investigation, then the NMO/AQP4-IgG FACS titration assay will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) FACS screen assay requires further investigation, then the MOG FACS titration assay will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the IFA pattern suggests neuronal intermediate filament (NIF) antibody, then the alpha internexin CBA, NIF heavy chain CBA, NIF light chain CBA, and NIF antibody IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the IFA pattern suggests neurochondrin antibody, then the neurochondrin antibody CBA and neurochondrin IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the IFA pattern suggests septin-7 antibody, then the septin-7 CBA and septin-7 IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

 

If the IFA pattern suggests tripartite motif-containing protein 46 (TRIM46) antibody, then the TRIM46 antibody CBA and TRIM46 IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.
