<i>Intra vitam</i> lumbar and <i>post mortem</i> ventricular cerebrospinal fluid immunoreactive interleukin-6 in Alzheimer's disease patients

Abstract

We conclude that elevations of CSF IL-6-IR can not serve as a diagnostic marker of the disease, but, hypothetically, could reflect presence or activity of IL-6 mediated immunological phenomena in single AD patients.
