Interferon.beta Ab
Active
Description
Highly elevated levels of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs >1:100) to interferon-beta used as therapy in patients with Multiple Sclerosis have been reported to correlate with predictable loss of interferon-beta bioactivity. In patients with elevated NAb levels from >1:20 to <1:100, interferon-beta bioactivity may still be present, but does not necessarily correlate to the exact NAb titer, and continued patient monitoring may be warranted. There is no apparent loss of interferon-beta bioactivity in patients who test positive in the binding antibody assay, but
negative for NAbs; however, continued patient monitoring may also be warranted in this instance as well.
