VGKC VOLTAGE GATED POTASSIUM CHANNEL ANTIBODY SERUM Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the VGKC VOLTAGE GATED POTASSIUM CHANNEL ANTIBODY SERUM Test, a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of antibodies against voltage-gated potassium channels in the blood.
Test Details
The VGKC Antibody Serum Test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of antibodies against voltage-gated potassium channels in the blood. These antibodies are associated with certain autoimmune neurological disorders, such as limbic encephalitis and Morvan’s syndrome.
Test Components
- LGI1 Antibody
- CASPR2 Antibody
Test Price
The cost of the VGKC VOLTAGE GATED POTASSIUM CHANNEL ANTIBODY SERUM Test is 1640.0 AED.
Sample Condition
For the test, a minimum of 2 mL serum from 1 SST is required. The sample should be shipped refrigerated or frozen. Overnight fasting is preferred.
Report Delivery
The sample is collected on Tuesdays and Fridays by 9 am, and the report is delivered on the same day.
Method
The VGKC VOLTAGE GATED POTASSIUM CHANNEL ANTIBODY SERUM Test is performed using a cell-based assay and immunofluorescence techniques.
Test Type
The test is used for the diagnosis of disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system.

Neurologist
Test Department
IMMUNOPATHOLOGY
Pre Test Information
Overnight fasting is preferred before taking the test.
Interpretation of Test Results
The test results are reported as either positive or negative, indicating the presence or absence of VGKC antibodies in the serum. A positive result suggests an autoimmune neurological disorder associated with VGKC antibodies, while a negative result indicates the absence of these antibodies.
It is important to note that the VGKC Antibody Serum Test is just one tool used in the diagnosis of autoimmune neurological disorders and should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient’s clinical symptoms, medical history, and other diagnostic tests.

| Test Details |
The VGKC (Voltage Gated Potassium Channel) Antibody Serum Test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of antibodies against voltage-gated potassium channels in the blood. These antibodies are associated with certain autoimmune neurological disorders, such as limbic encephalitis and Morvan’s syndrome. During the test, a blood sample is taken from the patient and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The serum is separated from the blood cells, and then the presence of VGKC antibodies is measured using various techniques, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or immunoblotting. The test results are reported as either positive or negative, indicating the presence or absence of VGKC antibodies in the serum. A positive result suggests an autoimmune neurological disorder associated with VGKC antibodies, while a negative result indicates the absence of these antibodies. It is important to note that the VGKC Antibody Serum Test is just one tool used in the diagnosis of autoimmune neurological disorders and should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient’s clinical symptoms, medical history, and other diagnostic tests. |
