Protein pattern of cerebrospinal fluid in various neurological diseases
Abstract:
CSF/serum albumin and immunoglobulin G ratios were determined in 520 patients suffering from various neurological diseases. Blood-brain barrier impairment was detectable in most cases of spinal tumour, meningitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome and in two-thirds of the patients with cerebral infarctions. A local IgG formation in the CNS has to be assumed for some cases of meningitis considering the course of the protein dysequilibrium. Autochthonous IgG production together with a barrier dysfunction was found in patients with encephalitis, meningoradiculitis and neurosyphilis. In cases of multiple sclerosis local IgG formation in the CNS was the predominant finding.

CSF Production
CSF is produced mainly in the choroid plexus, a network of capillaries and ependymal cells located within the ventricular system of the brain.
