I read an article on Tau and the spinal fluid.
It is measured when taking the spinal fluid out.
Is it possible to put the protein in the spinal fluid?
I have the same question with some cancer drugs that are needed for the brain.
Has this been tried?

Hi!
Presence of tau protein or β2-transferrin marks the presence of CSF and can be used to detect CSF leak. The protein is not put in CSF fluid. Cancer drugs are introduced through lumbar puncture, epidural injections. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!
