HelpOrderable Name T46IC Tripartite Motif-Containing Protein 46 (TRIM46) IgG, Tissue Immunofluorescence, Spinal Fluid
Specimen Required
Only orderable as part of a profile. For more information see:
ENC2 / Encephalopathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Spinal Fluid
DMC2 / Dementia, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Spinal Fluid
EPC2 / Epilepsy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Spinal Fluid
MDC2 / Movement Disorder, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Spinal Fluid
MAC1 / Myelopathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Spinal Fluid
Useful For
Detecting tripartite motif-containing protein 46 (TRIM46)-IgG in cerebrospinal fluid specimens
Evaluation of an autoimmune/paraneoplastic neurological syndrome among patients presenting with cerebellar ataxia, encephalitis, or encephalomyelitis
Testing Algorithm
If the indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) pattern suggests tripartite motif-containing protein 46 (TRIM46) IgG, then TRIM46 antibody cell-binding assay and IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.
