Antibodies in neurological diseases: Established, emerging, explorative

Immunological Reviews, Volume 328, Issue 1, Page 283-299, November 2024.
Summary Within a few years, autoantibodies targeting the nervous system resulted in a novel disease classification. For several of them, which we termed ‘established’, direct pathogenicity has been proven and now guides diagnostic pathways and early immunotherapy. For a rapidly growing number of further anti‐neuronal autoantibodies, the role in disease
