Reflex Tests
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| GL5CS | mGluR5 Ab CBA, S | No | No |
| GL5TS | mGluR5 Ab IFA Titer, S | No | No |
Testing Algorithm
If the indirect immunofluorescence (IFA) pattern suggests mGluR5 (metabotropic glutamate receptor-5), then the mGluR5 antibody cell-binding assay and mGluR5 antibody IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.
