Abstract
Transthyretin is an important choroid plexus-specific transport protein that has been reported to be both elevated and decreased in the CSF of multiple sclerosis patients. We report that CSF transthyretin levels are not altered in MS, indicating that choroid plexus function with respect to this protein is unaffected in this disease.
