[Bidimensional electrophoresis in the study of cerebrospinal fluid protein (author's transl)]

The authors report 650 bidimensional electrophoreses of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). All examinations were carried out after prior concentration of CSF protein. The technic used is that described by Rebeyrotte in 1970. Four types of tracing were noted: -- Two tracings were unusual by the presence of a large peak in the alpha-2 region. -- One tracing was of the hypergamma type. -- One tracing was comparable to serum by the richness of the precipitations. A change in the first migration permitted us to obtain electrophoretic separations from 100 microlitres of pure CSF. The bidimensional immunoelectrophoresis tracings are comparable to those described previously.
