Abstract
This presentation is mainly a synopsis of the workshop on “Cellular and Humoral Components of the Cerebrospinal Fluid in Multiple Sclerosis” held under the auspices of the International Federation of Multiple Sclerosis Societies as a NATO workshop at Hengelhoef, Belgium, April 20-24, 1986. Two reports have already been written but not yet published about this meeting: one by Brosnan and Wekerle (1) and the other for World Neurology (7). In addition, the abstracts were published in Acta Neurologica Belgica (8) and the complete text of all the presentations will be published by Plenum Press (11). Whe shall add to this synopsis some observations reported in recent publications or taken from personal studies.
