Abstract
PREVIOUS work has shown differences between some of the proteins in cerebrospinal fluid and those found in serum1–3. Thus paper-electrophoresis of concentrated normal cerebrospinal fluid may show a peak in the intermediate area between the beta-and gamma-fraction (‘tau-fraction’), which is not seen in paper-electrophoresis of normal human serum4–6. The similarities and differences between transferrin in cerebrospinal fluid and in serum have been further investigated.
