✦ Synopsis

Cyclic adenosine 3',5' monophosphate (cAMP) was assayed in CSF and plasma obtained from patients with multiple sclerosis. Decreased CSF cAMP levels were found in more than half of the patients while plasma cAMP was normal. The decrease is correlated significantly with the disability of the patient and with the progression of the disease. A low CSF cAMP level can be considered as prognostically unfavorable, particularly in the early stage of the disease. There was no correlation between the cAMP levels and the duration of the disease or with bouts and remissions. ACTH therapy did not normalize the decreased values. Obviously the decrease of CSF cAMP is related to the demyelination and not to the intensity of the pathological immunoreactions.

Rates of synthesis of cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) were measured in cultures of Escherichia coli aerating without a carbon source. This technique provides a representative measure of adenylate cyclase activity in the absence of inhibition caused by transport of the carbon source. Aden
