JCV CSF DNA

Two options for testing
 * NHS through Colindale
 * Privately through Unilabs Copenhagen

Where possible send both

Drug companies Biogen (Tysabri) and Novartis (Gilenya) have processes for Unilabs through contracts. Roche (Ocrevus) have experience of this process at BSUH now. Contact sebah.hussain@roche.com Medical Affairs Partner Roche

CSF for Unilabs requires 2 vials and for them to be frozen in laboratory at -80 degrees. Liaise with MS nurse specialists about transporting these to laboratory. Drug companies will arrange courier and dry ice to come to laboratory to take to Copenhagen.
