Abstract
CSF/plasma concentration quotients for Ig G (I) and albumin (A) were determined in guinea pigs. Age and sex-dependent influences on these quotients (I/A) were analyzed and compared with the values for human lumbar, cisternal and ventricular CSF. The ratio I/A, which characterizes the molecular size-dependent selectivity of the blood CSF barrier function for proteins, was a constant in a single species, but showed marked interspecies differences.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
