Data of the discovery cohort in a double logarithmic FLCκ quotient diagram. The bold line shows Qlim, the dashed line shows the Qmean. The bottom dashed line shows the Qlow. 302 samples (44%) showed an intrathecal FLCκ synthesis (IF FLCκ > 0) of which 60 patient samples showed no other signs of a humoral immune response (negative OCB, IF IgG/IF IgA/IF IgM < 0). 245 patient samples presented signs of an intrathecal inflammation (positive OCB () or Ig synthesis in the corresponding quotient diagram (
)) of which 4 lacked an intrathecal FLCκ synthesis (IF FLCκ < 0). FLCκ: free light chains kappa, Q: quotient, Alb: albumin.
