Gamma globulins
The final electrophoresis band, which is essentially all of your antibodies.
The final electrophoresis band, which is essentially all of your antibodies.
It is the band that summarises antibody production, and the one a laboratory examines most carefully for an abnormal shape.
The height matters less than the shape: a broad rise means a general immune response, while a narrow spike within an otherwise normal band is a different finding entirely and one the laboratory will comment on. It rises with chronic infection and with liver disease.
Worth discussing any comment the laboratory has added about the band shape.
On a report in another language.
A lab report names this analyte in its own language. Vitals Vault recognises each of these and files them all under Gamma globulins.
