A member asked:
Is a serum immunofixation test focused on monoclonal immunoglobulins but can also detect polyclonal ones or just the former? thanks.

Depends: This depends on what you are looking for. If you are just interested in antigen binding, any specific antibody would bind to the antigen.

Serum free light chain test shows normal kappa (8.7mg/dl), low lambda (3.80), high kap/lam ratio (2.31). Serum $ urine electrophoresis show no monoclonal protein, nor does serum immunofixation. Likely MGUS, myeloma, or admyloidosis? CBC/met panel ok.

Immunofixation, Serum FAH = Monoclonal IgG kappa immunoglobulin. Beta FAH = 10.5% Abnormal band, immunofixation to follow. I'm IgA deficient too. ??
When do you use immunofixation protein electrophoresis instead of regular serum protein electrophoresis ? Is it more informative ? What about serum immunoglobulins?
I got bloodwork done and this was the result: IMMUNOFIXATION SERUM Monoclonal protein identified as faint IgM kappa. What does this mean? Thank you
Very good afternoon doctors. I had an immunofixation serum blood test which was normal with no monoclonal proteins found. I had proteinuria on the urinalysis. When should I repeat this immunofixation test?
Good evening doctors. Is the immunofixation of the serum blood test which checks for monoclonal proteins the same as the urine test for amyloydosis which looks for light chain monoclonal?
