[Apolipoproteins AI, B100, CII, CIII and E in human cerebrospinal fluid]

Apolipoproteins AI, B100, CII, CIII and E contents were measured by radial immunodiffusion assay kits developed by our Research Unit. The apolipoprotein in 10 human cerebrospinal fluid samples was determined. Results show that there are no apo B100, CII or trace apo CIII in human cerebrospinal fluid, the levels of apo AI in cerebrospinal fluid are 1.00 +/- 0.54 mg/dl with a range of 0.35-2.00 mg/dl and the apo E content is 0.69 +/- 0.16 mg/dl with a range of 0.51-0.99 mg/dl. The results are discussed.
