Answer 1

CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) protein:

• Generally, CSF contains only small volume of protein

• CSF protein fractions are similar to serum protein fractions

• The most prevalent protein in serum is albumin

• The second most prevalent protein in serum is IgG (immunoglobulin G)

• Prealbumin is the second most prevalent protein in CSF

Therefore, the second most prevailing protein in CSF is “prealbumin”. Hence, the correct answer is option $<div class=answer> CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) protein: • Generally, CSF contains only small volume of protein • CSF protein fractions are similar to serum protein fractions • The most prevalent protein in serum is albumin • The second most prevalent protein in serum is IgG (immunoglobulin G) • Prealbumin is the second most prevalent protein in CSF Therefore, the second most prevailing protein in CSF is “prealbumin”. Hence, the correct answer is option .$ .
