ABO RH TYPE

Collect

One 6.0 mL Pink top (EDTA) labeled with  patient's last name, first name, medical record number, date drawn, phlebotomist's initials, and second person verifier's initials.

Collect

Serum separator tube.

Specimen Preparation

Separate serum from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection. Transfer 1 mL serum to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. (Min: 0.5 mL)

Unacceptable Conditions

Contaminated, hemolyzed, or severely lipemic specimens.

Storage/Transport Temperature

Stability (from collection to initiation)

After separation from cells: Ambient: 2 hours; Refrigerated: 2 weeks; Frozen: 1 year (avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles)

Notes

If Acetylcholine Receptor Binding Antibody result is greater than 0.4 nmol/L or Acetylcholine Receptor Blocking Antibody result is greater than 26 percent, then Acetylcholine Receptor Modulating Antibody (ARUP test code 0099521) will be added. Additional charges apply.

Acetylcholine Receptor Binding AntibodyNegative: 0.0-0.4 nmol/L

Indeterminate:27-41% blocking
Positive:42% or greater blocking

Acetylcholine Receptor Modulating AntibodyNegative: 0-45% modulating
Positive: 46% or greater modulating

Effective August 20, 2012

Interpretive Data

Approximately 85-90 percent of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) express antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor (AChR), which can be divided into binding, blocking, and modulating antibodies. Binding antibody can activate complement and lead to loss of AChR. Blocking antibody may impair binding of acetylcholine to the receptor, leading to poor muscle contraction. Modulating antibody causes receptor endocytosis resulting in loss of AChR expression, which correlates most closely with clinical severity of disease. Approximately 10-15 percent of individuals with confirmed myasthenia gravis have no measurable binding, blocking, or modulating antibodies.
