β¦ Synopsis
Particle counting immunoassay (PACIA) is applied to the determination of proteins at trace levels in normal and pathological cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples. Performance characteristics for the assays are given and the results for immunoglobulins (Igs) expressed as Ig indices. Ig profiles characteristic of various neurological disorders have been studied, and anti-herpes antibodies detected using an agglutination inhibition method. Ferritin, C-reactive protein and the brain protein S-100 have also been studied.
