title: Receptor-mediated transfer of IgG and albumin at cerebrospinal fluid interfaces.
abstract: Receptor-mediated transfer of IgG and albumin has been suggested to occur also at cerebrospinal fluid interfaces. We point out findings of statistically unchanging IgG/albumin ratios along the lumbar CSF column which propose that such transfer should be absent or very small at cerebrospinal fluid interfaces.
