title: Value of central nervous system IgG daily synthesis determination in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
abstract: Using laser beam immunonephelometry, we confirmed the value of Tourtellotte's formula in the diagnosis of MS. Moreover, since immunonephelometry presents several advantages, including simplicity, rapidity, and precision, it is a promising technique for the diagnosis of MS. Complicated measurements are not necessary. Determinations take only minutes. The results are reproducible. Mathematics manipulations are simple with readily available computers.
