Overview
Oligoclonal bands are a set of immunoglobulin (antibody) bands that are found in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of some people with neurological disorders, particularly those with multiple sclerosis. Oligoclonal bands are detected through a test called the CSF oligoclonal banding assay.
Normally, the proteins in the CSF are present in a specific pattern, with only a small number of immunoglobulins being present. However, in some people with neurological disorders, particularly multiple sclerosis, the CSF contains a greater number of immunoglobulins, and these immunoglobulins are often found in the form of oligoclonal bands.
The presence of oligoclonal bands in the CSF is not specific to multiple sclerosis and can be found in other neurological disorders such as neurosyphilis, meningitis, and encephalitis. However, oligoclonal bands are considered a strong indicator of multiple sclerosis when they are accompanied by other clinical features and imaging studies.
