Use

Protein Electrophoresis, CSF is used to evaluate the protein composition of cerebrospinal fluid. It is not useful for assessing multiple sclerosis; the preferred test in such cases is the Oligoclonal Band Profile. This test may be helpful in diagnosing tumors in the central nervous system or neurological illnesses. However, for evaluating blood-brain barrier integrity, the Immunoglobulin G, CSF Index, included in the Oligoclonal Band Profile test, might be more beneficial.
