Abstract
Immunofluorescent staining of the serum and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with and without neurological disease demonstrates an affinity of the gamma-globulin fraction for glial cells and myelin sheaths in normal human nervous tissue. This affinity appears to be specific for the 7S gamma-globulin fraction and is not seen with the other major protein fractions of serum and cerebrospinal fluid or with the fluorescein conjugated antisera alone.Keywords
