June 29th, 2009
According to a study from Beijing, People's Republic of China, " Neurocysticercosis is the infection of the nervous system by the larvae of Taenia solium (T solium). Despite continuous effort, the experimental diagnosis of neurocysticercosis remains unresolved." "Since the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) contacts with the brain, dynamic information about pathological processes of the brain is likely to be reflected in CSF Therefore, CSF may serve as a rich source of putative biomarkers related to neurocysticercosis. Comparative proteomic analysis of CSF of neurocysticercosis patients and control subjects may find differentially expressed proteins. Two-dimensional difference...
