Charge microheterogeneity of the beta-trace protein (beta-TP = lipocalin-type prostaglandin D synthase) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with various neurological disorders was analyzed by capillary isoelectric focusing (CIEF). Under the conditions employed, beta-TP in the low-molecular-weight protein fraction of CSF was separated into at least four isoforms with different p/ values. An isoform with the pl value of 4.6-4.8 was usually the most abundant. The total beta-TP level in the CSF was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to be elevated in patients recovering from organic damage to the CNS and those with pathological brain atrophy. Changes in the total beta-TP level in the CSF were occasionally accompanied by those in its charge microheterogeneity, as revealed by CIEF. Such quantitative and qualitative changes in beta-TP in human CSF indicated changes in its pathophysiological roles in association with various neurological disorders.
