Autoimmune GFAP astrocytopathy after viral encephalitis: a case report of bimodal overlapping encephalitis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
Autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy is a treatable autoimmune disorder affecting the central nervous system. Despite extensive research, the exact etiology and pathogenesis of this condition remain unclear.

MAVS expressed by hematopoietic cells is critical for control of West Nile virus infection and pathogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
West Nile virus (WNV) is the most important cause of epidemic encephalitis in North America. Innate immune responses, which are critical for control of WNV infection, are initiated by signaling through pathogen recognition receptors, RIG-I and MDA5, and ...

Bidirectional Interaction Between the Brain and Bone in Traumatic Brain Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disrupts the blood–brain barrier and activates neuroimmune responses, causing metabolic disturbances and long‐term bone mass loss. Concurrent fractures accelerate healing and enhance osteogenesis but disrupt regulatory mechanisms, leading to altered bone dynamics and exacerbating neuroinflammation, complicating recovery ...

Metabolic Programming Drives Protective and Inflammatory Monocyte Fates in Viral Encephalitis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Bone marrow monocytes infiltrate the West Nile virus‐infected brain and differentiate into HIF1‐α⁺ monocyte‐derived cells (MCs) that diverge into protective, antigen‐presenting or inflammatory, iNOS⁺ MCs with distinct metabolic programs and functions.

Innate and adaptive immunity in human epilepsies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Inflammatory mechanisms have been increasingly implicated in the origin of seizures and epilepsy. These mechanisms are involved in the genesis of encephalitides in which seizures are a common complaint.

A Transcriptome‐Wide Mendelian Randomization Study in Isolated Human Immune Cells Highlights Risk Genes Involved in Viral Infections and Potential Drug Repurposing Opportunities for Schizophrenia

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorder characterized by symptoms of psychosis, thought disorder, and flattened affect. Immune mechanisms are associated with schizophrenia, though the precise nature of this relationship (causal, correlated, consequential) and the mechanisms involved are not fully understood.

Case report: Overlapping anti-AMPAR encephalitis with anti-IgLON5 disease post herpes simplex virus encephalitis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is the result of an autoimmune process that occurs as a rapidly advancing encephalopathy. Autoimmune encephalitis was commonly linked to herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) as the most frequently identified virus.

Successful treatment of autoimmunity in NZB/NZW F1 mice with monoclonal antibody to L3T4. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
Autoimmune NZB/NZW mice were treated with weekly injections of monoclonal antibody (mAb) to L3T4, an antigen expressed on a distinct subpopulation of T cells that respond to class II major histocompatibility antigens.
