CD14 and premenstrual tension: Indeed, the CSF concentrations of immune cell–specific cell surface markers, such as CD27 (predominantly shed from T cells especially CD8+), CD21 (shed from B cells, especially naive B cells), CD23 (predominantly shed by activated DCs and memory B cells), and CD14/CD163 (predominantly shed by monocytes and macrophages) are equally increased in all MS subtypes (64), indicating similar levels of inflammation in the intrathecal compartment of RRMS and PMS subjects.
