| Abstract: | S100B in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF-S100B) was measured in calves with 20 neurologic and 21non-neurologic diseases to clarify its utility as a biomarker for neurologic diseases. Themedian CSF-S100B value in the neurologic disease group (43.0ng/ml) was significantly higher than that in thenon-neurologic disease group (10.2 ng/ml). As CSF-S100Blevels in calves with neurologic diseases widely differed, the utility of CSF-S100B as adiagnostic marker for neurologic diseases in cattle remains inconclusive. |
