Fig. 1.

Grouped scatter plot showing the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of MCP-1, YKL-40, sCD14, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2 in patients and controls. The median is shown as a straight line. Samples with extreme high values have been excluded from the graphs (i.e., 1 patient from the CSF MCP-1, 1 patient from theserum TIMP-1 and 1 patient from the serum TIMP-2 samples). MCP-1 = monocyte chemoattractant protein-1; sCD14 = soluble cluster of differentiation; TIMP = tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases; YKL-40 = Chitinase-3-like protein-1.
