Fig. 1From: Transient spurious intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis in neurological patients after therapeutic apheresisScatter plot showing the percentage of intrathecal immunoglobulin fractions in patients from the Freiburg study group of the IgG, IgA, and IgM class before (left three columns) and 1 day after (right three columns) therapeutic apheresis. Only patients with available, complete CSF and serum data before and 1 day after therapeutic apheresis were included in this graph (n = 12). Each triangle represents one patient; the line within the triangles of each column represents the median. Intrathecal immunoglobulin fractions were considered relevant if they exceeded 10 % (as indicated by the dotted line). Abbreviations: IgG, IgA, and IgM = immunoglobulins G, A, and M; IF = intrathecal fractionBack to article page
