FAQ
What is the difference between immunofixation and electrophoresis?
Immunofixation is a type of electrophoresis used to identify and separate proteins based on an antibody-antigen reaction. Electrophoresis is a method of separating molecules based on their size and charge.
What is the electrophoresis process?
Electrophoresis is a process used to separate molecules based on size and charge by placing them in a gel matrix and applying a direct current. This causes the molecules to migrate through the gel, with larger molecules migrating more slowly than smaller molecules. The result is a separation of the molecules based on size and charge.
What type of immunoglobulins are seen in the case of multiple myeloma?
In the majority of cases of multiple myeloma, an overproduction of a single type of intact immunoglobulin occurs. A few cases show a significant increase in the production of "free light chains" of immunoglobulin. These excess free light chains are released into the bloodstream and are subsequently filtered by the kidneys due to their relatively small size. As a result, these excess free light chains appear in urine and are known as Bence Jones proteins.

Overview of Immunofixation Electrophoresis Qualitative Test
Immunofixation electrophoresis is a qualitative test used to detect and identify monoclonal immunoglobulins or light chains in a patient's serum. Monoclonal immunoglobulins or light chains are antibodies made by a single type of immune cell. They are used to identify and fight against foreign substances in the body, such as viruses, bacteria, and toxins. They are used for diagnosis, disease treatment and research. They can also be used to treat certain types of cancer.

Why and When is the Immunofixation Electrophoresis Qualitative Test Done?
The test is often used to diagnose and monitor multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom’s Disease, and other monoclonal gammopathies, such as light chain deposition disease and amyloidosis. Immunofixation electrophoresis can also be used to monitor the levels of monoclonal proteins in patients after bone marrow transplant.
