Test Directory
We provide a detailed directory of the different tests that are offered, including information such sample collection instructions, test requirements and turnaround time.
Alzheimer’s Disease and Neurodegenerative Disorders
We are the first diagnostic laboratory in Canada to offer comprehensive testing for AD and other neurodegenerative disease (NNDs) using Simoa and Lumipulse (Fujirebio) instruments.
Myasthenia Gravis
Antibody testing for the purposes of diagnosing Myasthenia Gravis has been offered at BC Neuroimmunology since 1984.
Nodopathies (CIDP)
CIDP is an acquired, degenerative autoimmune disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system.
Neuromyelitis Optica
Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is an autoimmune, inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system that affects the optic nerves and spinal cord.
Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome
We use a radioimmunoassay kit that is FDA-cleared for in vitro diagnostic used to semi-quantitatively measure antibodies to voltage-gated calcium channels in human serum.
Autoimmune Encephalitis
There are several targets for autoimmune antibody-mediated encephalitis with the most common being N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR).
Paraneoplastic Immunoblots
Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare, but potentially treatable disorders of the nervous system that are associated with cancer.
