A case of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and a case of AIDS-related complex (ARC) are described. In both instances comparative Western blot analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum samples show evidence of qualitative differences in antibody-binding patterns to viral polypeptides.
