title: Adenylate kinase activity in cerebrospinal fluid in connection with transitory ischaemic attacks.
abstract: Adenylate kinase activity was measured in cerebrospinal fluid of healthy normal individuals and those having suffered from transitory ischaemic attacks (TIA). Normally, no adenylate kinase was present in cerebrospinal fluid. A slight but distinct activity was always registered in the 11 cases studied in connection with TIA. Cerebrospinal fluid of 2 patients was also analysed in a symptom-free interval (at least 2 weeks after the stroke) and no adenylate kinase activity was found.
