Has the notion of testing spinal fluid in those taking Tysabri come into discussion as part of the TOUCH (or whatever) programs?

It would only make sense to me that IF looking for a pre-cursor to PML is possible in the spinal fluid, that this be part of the routine of monitoring.

(I know nothing about the background of Tysabri, but I'm just shooting this one out there for perhaps someone to respond to, because now I'm curious!)
