Useful For
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Detecting septin-5 IgG by cell-binding assay using cerebrospinal fluid specimens

Testing Algorithm
Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

If the indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) pattern suggests septin-5, then this test and septin-5 antibody IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

Septin-5 IgG is a biomarker of a rapidly progressive, but treatable, form of autoimmune cerebellar ataxia. Patients present with subacute onset of cerebellar ataxia with prominent eye movement symptoms (oscillopsia or vertigo).

 

Improvement may occur after immunotherapy.

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Only orderable as a reflex. For more information see MDC2 / Movement Disorder, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Spinal Fluid.

 

Negative

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

Seropositivity for septin antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) is consistent with a diagnosis of autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. Cell-binding assay (CBA) testing for septin-5 IgG is required to confirm the diagnosis. Seropositivity for septin-5 IgG by CBA confirms a diagnosis of autoimmune disease of the central nervous system.

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

Negative results for septin-5 IgG by cell-binding assay do not exclude neurological autoimmunity or cancer.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

Patient specimen is applied to a composite slide containing transfected and nontransfected HEK-293 cells. After incubation and washing, fluorescein-conjugated goat-antihuman IgG is applied to detect the presence of patient IgG binding.(Package insert: IIFT: Neurology Mosaics, Instructions for the indirect immunofluorescence test.

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

Monday through Sunday

Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.

5 to 10 days

Specimen Retention Time
Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded

28 days

Performing Laboratory Location
Indicates the location of the laboratory that performs the test
