2005, Otolaryngologic Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Although the concentrations of glucose and protein differ in CSF and plasma, their chemical identification has poor sensitivity and specificity and is not a reliable diagnostic tool, especially when the fluid is contaminated with blood, tears, and saliva. Their use is generally obsolete, especially for subclinical liquorrhea [4–6]. For many years, β2-transferrin has been used to detect CSF.
Cerebrospinal fluid: Implications in oral and maxillofacial surgery
2002, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :More specifically, β2 is found only in CSF, aqueous humor, and perilymph, making it an ideal marker for isolating CSF from serum or nasal secretions.35,37-40 Evaluation of collected fluid samples must use electrophoretic separation of proteins and the Western blotting technique to detect β2-transferrin when concentrations exceed 33 mg/mL.35 Although highly sensitive, laboratory tests to detect β2-transferrin may take up to 4 days to process if out-of-hospital facilities are required.
