Abstract
BACKGROUND: Protein electrophoresis (PEP) is an important tool in supporting the analytical characterization of protein status in diseases related to monoclonal components, inflammation, and antibody deficiency. Here, we developed a deep learning-based PEP classification algorithm to supplement the labor-intensive PEP interpretation and enhance inter-observer reliability.
