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
Using a specific radioimmunoassay we have measured somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (SLIR) of CSF in patients with brain atrophy, spinal spasticity, seizures, brain tumors and inflammatory disorders. Patients with marked brain atrophy had significantly decreased somatostatin levels in CSF. In pati
The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with demyelinating neurological disease, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome or multiple sclerosis, contains factors that inhibit the excitatory Na+ current. Such antiexcitatory factors are occasionally also detectable in CSF from patients with other neurologica
Cerebrospinal fluids (CSF) from 66 patients with a variety of neurological disorders were studied for total protein content, absolute amount of albumin, IgA, IgG and IgM, as well as their quotients (fraction to total protein ratio), cell numbers and B cell and T cell levels. In addition, the percent
