title: Levels of 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha in neonatal cerebrospinal fluid.
abstract: 6-Ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha determinations were made by radioimmunoassay on samples of cerebrospinal fluid from 41 neonates. Levels were below the smallest quantity detectable (50 pg/ml) in 29 and greater than 200 pg/ml in only 3 babies. These results suggest that 6-ketoprostaglandin F1 alpha is not a major prostaglandin in the cerebrospinal fluid of human infants.
