Default Everything --

--listed on that lab listing is serum (blood) test.

Most of those antibodies could also be looked for in a spinal tap, but most of the time a spinal tap would be done to look for other proteins more characteristic of problems with breakdown of myelin in the central nervous system, rather than the peripheral. (Brain and spinal cord myelin has a different lipid structure than that of peripheral nerve myelin.)
