Abstract

Electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis of cerebrospinal fluid of 201 patients with inflammatory CNS diseases revealed that over a total protein value from 0 to greater than 1, 2 g/1 there was merely a decrease in pre-albumins and a difference in the gamma-globulins as a pointer to immune reactions. Comparison with the absolute values indicated an increase of all fractions in inflammatory and non inflammatory diseases caused by impairment of the blood-CSF barrier. Again there was evidence of immune reaction in the gamma-globulin range. Impairment in the blood-CSF barrier was demonstrated by an increased concentration of IgG, IgA and IgM. An immune reaction was revealed by higher IgG values.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.
