As platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) is one of key mediators of transendothelial migration of leucocytes during inflammation, and inflammatory reaction is observed in cerebral ischaemia, we decided to determine the levels of soluble PECAM-1 (sPECAM-1) in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with acute stroke.
