[Diagnostic value of microzone electrophoresis of non-concentrated cerebrospinal fluid (author's transl)]

Results of microzone electrophoresis and immunochemical examination of proteins in nonconcentrated CSF were compared. Blood-CSF barrier impairment, disturbances in CSF flow and immune reactions were detectable by the microzone electrophoresis technique. Blood-CSF barrier impairment and immune reactions were detected by immunochemical determination of albumin and IgG on LC partigen plates, the assay range of the plate being sufficient only for these proteins. There was no significant difference in the frequency with which abnormal protein values were found by either method.
