immunoglobulin electrophoresis (medicine)


immunoglobulin electrophoresis
<immunology, investigation> A test that detects and measures the various immunoglobulins in the blood.

In the normal assay no monoclonal antibodies are detected but in multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia a single clone of lymphocytes can produce one type of immunoglobulin that is detected in the electrophoresis as monoclonal (made by one cell clone).
