The Comprehensive Live Cell-Based Cytotoxicity Assay for Monitoring Disease Activity and Guiding Rescue Therapy in Acute Attacks of NMOSD. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a devastating neurological disease that lacks serological biomarkers that can accurately reflect disease activity. We established a live cell‐based assay (LCBA) using serum with endogenous complement to quantify the overall cytotoxicity, offering a novel functional tool for monitoring

Practical Guidance on Initiating and Switching Targeted Immunotherapies in Generalised Myasthenia Gravis: A German-Austrian Expert Opinion Paper. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background The therapeutic landscape of generalised myasthenia gravis (gMG) has evolved substantially with the approval of targeted immunotherapies, including complement C5 inhibitors (C5‐I) and neonatal Fc receptor inhibitors (FcRn‐I). While pivotal trials have demonstrated marked efficacy in defined subgroups, real‐world experience reveals ...
