The immunoassay detected the 14-3-3 protein in cerebrospinal fluid from 68 of the 71 patients with CreutzfeldtâJakob disease (96 percent; 95 percent confidence interval, 92 to 99 percent). Among 94 patients with other dementias, the specificity was 96 percent.
The function of the CSF includes cushioning and lubrication of the central nervous system, circulation of nutrients, and waste collection. Total CSF volume is 90-150 mL in adults and 10-60 ml in neonates. There is a constant turnover of about 14% of the volume per hour. About 300-500 mL of CSF are formed per 24 hours (0.35 mL per minute). CSF is obtained by lumbar puncture, with removal of fluid from the lumbar sac, located at the L3-4 or L4-5 interspace. At this level, the needle cannot injure the spinal cord, which in adults ends at L1.
