The cerebrospinal fluid and plasma concentrations of gamma-trace and beta2-microglobulin at various ages and in neurological disorders
The concentrations of gamma-trace and beta2-microglobulin in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma were determined in 64 individuals of various ages without signs of organic disorder in the central nervous system (CNS). A strong connection was found between the CSF level of gamma-trace and the age of the individual, with the CSF level of newborns being 3--4 times that of adults. A similar, but less
