Cerebrospinal Fluid Neopterin in Patients with Tumors and other Disorders
Increased urinary or serum concentrations of neopterin have been reported in cancer patients, but less is known about neopterin concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF neopterin was determined with radioimmunoassay in 64 patients.
