cerebrospinal fluid myelin basic protein

When the central nervous system develops lesions (such as infection, inflammation, tumor, trauma, hemorrhage, edema, etc.), the chemical components in the cerebrospinal fluid may change, and can be used as a clinical diagnosis and treatment by measuring changes in certain chemical components in the cerebrospinal fluid. The basis for disease and prognosis observations. Cerebrospinal fluid protein composition changes are one of them. Basic Information Specialist classification: examination classification: cerebrospinal fluid examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: No relevant information. Normal value: Cerebrospinal fluid myelin basic protein: 0.55-1.83μg / L Above normal: Found in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), viral meningitis (sporadic encephalitis), MBP increased significantly after acute craniocerebral injury. negative: Positive: Tips: After acute craniocerebral injury, MBP in CSF is significantly higher than normal, so MBP is detected early in the onset, and CSF has clinical value compared with blood. Normal value 0.55 to 1.83 μg/L. Clinical significance Positive (>2.46 μg/L) multiple sclerosis (MS), viral meningitis (sporadic encephalitis). Positive results may be diseases: multiple sclerosis, sporadic encephalitis, viral meningitis considerations After acute craniocerebral injury, MBP in CSF is significantly higher than normal, so MBP is detected early in the onset, and CSF has clinical value compared with blood. Inspection process The method is divided into three steps, namely antigen-antibody reaction, B and F separation, and radioactivity determination. (1) Reaction of antigen with antibody: The specimen (non-labeled antigen), labeled antigen and antiserum are sequentially dosed into a small test tube, and allowed to stand at room temperature (15 to 30 ° C) for 24 hours to fully compete for binding. (2) Separation of B and F: There are various separation techniques, and the precipitation method is commonly used. 1 second antibody precipitation method: also known as diabody method, after the test antigen specifically reacts with the first antibody, the corresponding second antibody is added, so that the formed antigen-first antibody-second antibody complex is co-precipitated. The labeled antigen B is separated from the free antigen F by centrifugation. This method is a specific precipitation, complete separation, low non-specific binding. However, the amount of the second antibody is large and the cost is high. In addition, the concentration of the specimen and the presence or absence of the anticoagulant can affect the results to some extent. 2 Polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation method: the protein is in an isoelectric point state, and the hydration layer is destroyed to cause protein precipitation. The advantage of this method is that PEG is convenient to prepare, inexpensive, and rapid to separate. The disadvantage is that there are many non-specific precipitates and the separation is incomplete. 3Second antibody-polyethylene glycol precipitation method: This method not only has the advantage of rapid precipitation of PEG method, but also maintains the effect of specific precipitation of second antibody, reduces the amount of second antibody, and reduces the concentration of PEG, so that non-specific precipitation Reduced material. 4 Activated carbon adsorption method: the free part of small molecules is adsorbed by the surface activity of activated carbon. For example, a layer of dextran is coated on the surface of the activated carbon to make a mesh having a certain pore diameter on the surface, thereby allowing small molecules of free antigen or hapten to escape and being adsorbed, while the macromolecular complex is excluded. After the antigen and the antibody are reacted, the dextran-activated carbon is added and allowed to stand for 5 to 10 minutes, so that the free antigen is adsorbed on the activated carbon particles, and the particles are precipitated by centrifugation, and the supernatant contains the labeled antigen. (3) Determination of radioactivity: After separation of B and F, the radioactivity can be measured. There are two types of measuring instruments: a liquid scintillation counter (measuring beta rays) and a crystal scintillation counter (measuring gamma rays). The unit of counting is the number of electrical pulses output by the detector in units of cpm (number of pulses/min). A standard curve is required for each measurement, and the different concentrations of the standard antigen are plotted on the abscissa, and the corresponding radioactivity measured is plotted on the ordinate. The radioactivity may be optionally B or F, and the calculated values ​​B/B+F, B/F or B/B0 may also be used. Specimens should be determined in duplicate, the average value is taken, and the corresponding antigen concentration is detected on the standard curve. Not suitable for the crowd 1. If there is obvious papilledema or cerebral palsy, contraindications are contraindicated. 2. Patients who are in shock, exhaustion or endangered state and local skin inflammation, and lesions in the posterior cranial fossa are contraindicated. Adverse reactions and risks If the patient has symptoms such as breathing, pulse, or abnormal color during puncture, stop the operation immediately and deal with it accordingly.
