The present of neutralizing antibodies to interferon beta, especially in persistently high titers, may be associated with reduction in the clinical effectiveness of interferon beta therapy (1). Although the measurement of Nabs can add to the clinical and imaging information used to assess the efficacy of interferon beta therapy, these results should be interpreted in the context of clinical presentation and medical history (2, 3).
Although rare, false positive or false negative results may occur. All results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings, relevant history, and other laboratory data.

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.
