Penetration of Proteins in the Central Nervous System

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Transport Phenomena in the Nervous System

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 69))

Abstract

The subject of penetration of protein derivatives and other macromolecules into the CNS has no extensive literature; until recently it was assumed that such entry was practically negligible. The well known barrier phenomena for substances of lower molecular weight and less structural complexity suggested that exogenous proteins should normally be excluded from the CNS.
