Abstract: BACKGROUND Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) kappa free light chains (KFLC) have been suggested as quantitative alternative to oligoclonal bands (OB) in multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis. Despite OB have been associated to poor disease prognosis, little is… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.827738
Abstract: Cerebrospinal kappa free light chain (KFLC)-index is a marker of intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis that aids in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, little evidence exists on its prognostic role. Our aim is to analyze… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1106028
Abstract: Background Evolving evidence suggests that measurement of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) kappa free light chain (KFLC) synthesis has high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for multiple sclerosis (MS), but its prognostic ability is less investigated. The usefulness… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/brainsci12040475
Abstract: Background: Oligoclonal bands represent intrathecal immunoglobulin G (IgG) synthesis and play an important role in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Kappa free light chains (KFLC) are increasingly recognized as an additional biomarker for intrathecal… read more here.
