Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) soluble CD27 (sCD27) is a sensitive biomarker of intrathecal inflammation. Although generally considered a biomarker of T cell activation, CSF sCD27 has been shown to correlate with biomarkers of B cell activity in multiple sclerosis. We analyzed CSF from 40 patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and nine symptomatic controls using flow cytometry and multiplex electrochemiluminescence immunoassays. CSF sCD27 levels were increased in RRMS and correlated with IgG index, soluble B cell maturation antigen, cell count, B cell frequency and CD8+ T cell frequency. We provide new data indicating that CSF sCD27 is associated with CD8+ T cells and B cells in RRMS.

Abstract
The autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) represent individual heterogeneity with different disease entities. Although clinical and imaging features make it possible to characterize larger patient cohorts, they may not provide sufficient evidence to detect disease activity and response to disease modifying drugs. Biomarkers are becoming a powerful tool due to their objectivity and easy access. Biomarkers may indicate various aspects of biological processes in healthy and/or pathological states, or as a response to drug therapy. According to the clinical features described, biomarkers are usually classified into predictive, diagnostic, monitoring and safety biomarkers. Some nerve injury markers, humoral markers, cytokines and immune cells in serum or cerebrospinal fluid have potential roles in disease severity and prognosis in autoimmune diseases occurring in the CNS, which provides a promising approach for clinicians to early intervention and prevention of future disability. Therefore, this review mainly summarizes the potential biomarkers indicated in autoimmune disorders of the CNS.
