## Abstract Predictors and laboratory correlates of the response of patients with multiple sclerosis to glucocorticoids are not well defined. Our study was undertaken to determine if the levels of myelin basic protein (MBP)βlike material in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) might indicate which patients wi
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 105 patients was analyzed by radioimmunoassay for the presence of material cross-reactive with peptide 89-169 of bovine myelin basic protein (BP). In a group of 72 multiple sclerosis patients, 52 showed higher BP content than the control group, i.e. more than 2 ng/ml C
