Medical Definition of Immunoglobulin electrophoresis
1.
A test that detects and measures the various immunoglobulins in the blood.
In the normal assay no monoclonal antibodies are detected but in multiple myeloma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia a single clone of lymphocytes can produce one type of immunoglobulin that is detected in the electrophoresis as monoclonal (made by one cell clone).
