Onconeural antibodies are found in some patients with cancer, and are associated with paraneoplastic neurological syndromes.
A multi-well adapted fluid-phase immunoassay using radiolabelled recombinant onconeural proteins for the detection of onconeural antibodies is described.
This immunoprecipitation technique is more sensitive in detecting onconeural antibodies than immunohistochemistry and immune blots.
