beta2-Microglobulin levels were determined the serum and CSF by radioimmunoassay in various patients from departments of neurology and neurosurgery. Simultaneously a study of CSF protein levels was done. In normal subjects, there is a good correlation between blood and beta2m levels. In patients with pure subarachnoid hemorrhage, the beta2m was always found elevated in the CSF. In tumors of the nervous system, the number of cases studied is yet too small to allow any conclusion.
