The immune response may be either referred to cellular or to humoral immunity in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as in all other biological fluids. The study of cellular immunity in CSF has never been thoroughly undertaken, however, recent work has brought important information in this field, and allowed to identify the T lymphocytes (1).
