Autoimmune Brain Panel™

Specimen Collection

The Autoimmune Brain Panel™ (formerly known as the Cunningham Panel™) helps clinicians identify whether a patient’s neurologic and/or psychiatric symptoms may be due to an infection-triggered autoimmune process by identifying elevated levels of antineuronal antibody biomarkers.

This is a composite panel of five independent assays. Test results assist clinicians in the diagnosis of suspected autoimmune neuropsychiatric conditions and can support appropriate treatment decisions. Moleculera Biosciences is the only facility in the world that performs this Panel.

Moleculera Biosciences is fully-accredited by CLIA (#37D2082408) and COLA (#25744). Laboratory Director: Joseph Quashnock, PhD.

It is essential that specimens are collected only in approved tubes provided in our collection supplies. NO OTHER TUBES can be used. Results will not be valid from any other type of tube.
