Familial spinal neurofibromatosis: clinical and DNA linkage analysis.

abstract：:We evaluated four formulas for estimating the intra-blood-brain barrier (IBBB) synthesis of IgG in a computer model of two types of BBB damage and in 1,629 consecutively received pairs of CSF and serum. These four formulas were the IgG synthesis rate (SR), IgG(loc) (ie, local), IgG index, and IgG extended index. Resul...
