RT @NatRevNeurol: Recombinant antigen-based assay improves detection of AQP4 antibodies in patients with NMO http://t.co/Nj6jUGuCz1 via @fe…
Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

Conclusions: Serological tests using recombinant AQP4 antigen are significantly more sensitive than tissue-based IIF for detecting AQP4-IgG. Testing should precede immunotherapy; if negative, later-drawn specimens should be tested. AQP4-IgG–seronegative NMO is less frequent than previously reported and is clinically similar to AQP4-IgG–seropositive NMO.

The spectrum of MOG autoantibody-associated demyelinating diseases : Abstract : Nature Reviews Neurology

And Reindl et al. review the spectrum of MOG antibody-associated demyelinating diseases http://t.co/tP5Iz4v36e (£) #newfromnrneurol
Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) has been identified as a target of demyelinating autoantibodies in animal models of inflammatory demyelinating diseases of the CNS, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Numerous studies have aimed to establish a role for MOG antibodies in patients with MS, although the results have been controversial. Cell-based immunoassays using MOG expressed in mammalian cells have demonstrated the presence of high-titre MOG antibodies in paediatric patients with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, MS, aquaporin-4-seronegative neuromyelitis optica, or isolated optic neuritis or transverse myelitis, but only rarely in adults with these disorders. These studies indicate that MOG antibodies could be associated with a broad spectrum of acquired human CNS demyelinating diseases. This Review article discusses the current literature on MOG antibodies, their potential clinical relevance, and their role in the pathogenesis of MOG antibody-associated demyelinating disorders.

Gilbert C FAURE's insight:

Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes are immune-mediated erroneous attacks on the central or peripheral nervous systems, or both, directed originally against the tumour itself. They have been known for more than 40 years, but recently the discovery of new subgroups of paraneoplastic encephalitis syndromes with a remarkably good response to immune therapy has ignited new clinical and scientific interest. Knowledge of these subgroups and their associated autoantibodies is important in therapeutic decision-making. However, the abundance of new autoantibodies and syndromes can be confusing. This review paper summarizes current knowledge and new developments in the field of paraneoplastic neurological syndromes, their classification, pathophysiology and treatment.
