Abstract
The authors show that brain tumors onset and relevant recurrences are closely related to enhanced synthesis of IgG in the liquor and of circulating immune complexes as well as to blocking factors registered in the liquor. The above facts illustrate autoimmune reactions involved in pathogenesis and recurrent growth of brain tumors. Surgical removal of the latter inhibits the intensity of IgG intrathecal synthesis.
