Describe the methods of agarose gel electrophoresis, immunofixation, and densitometry. |
|
Name the clinical conditions most commonly associated with monoclonal gammopathy, and some key clinical features of each condition. |
|
View an agarose gel, an immunofixation, and a densitometry and determine if a monoclonal gammopathy is present. If it is present, the user will be able to identify the immunoglobulin type. |
|
View an agarose gel of serum, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid and identify the electrophoresis pattern (e.g., inflammation, liver disease, hemolysis, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, tubular proteinuria, CSF oligoclonal banding, etc). |
