- Abstract
Elevated levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptors were present in the serum from patients with acute primary and postinfectious encephalitis and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. In addition, soluble interleukin-2 receptors were detected in the cerebrospinal fluid from patients with acute primary encephalitis. Their presence in the cerebrospinal fluid was not explained by damage to the blood-brain barrier and our data attest to their local origin. This suggests that it may be possible in certain neurological diseases to detect cerebral Tlymphocyte activation through a specific marker in the cerebrospinal fluid.
