The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and develop procedures for detecting monoclonal proteins via finger pick blood spots and saliva. Data will be compared to results of serum data collected for patient care during the same time.  The test will be evaluated qualitatively against venipunctured data tested by Mass Fix.

The goal of this study is to validate testing to be performed in the clinical immunology lab and have a source of positive patient sera.

These tests include:

1. Auto antibodies to Factor H
2. C3 Nephritic Factor
3. Auto antibodies to C1q
4. Auto antibodies to C1INH
