Autoantibody biomarkers for basal ganglia encephalitis in Sydenham chorea and pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infections

PUBLISHED: FRONTIERS IN PSYCHIATRY

Study reviews the utilization of antineuronal antibodies, measured with the Autoimmune Brain Panel™ (formerly known as the Cunningham Panel™), as biomarkers for infection-triggered autoimmune basal ganglia encephalitis and the significance of the CaMKinase II.

Anti-lysoganglioside and other anti-neuronal autoantibodies in post-treatment Lyme Disease

Anti-lysoganglioside and other anti-neuronal autoantibodies in post-treatment Lyme Disease and Erythema Migrans after repeat infection

PUBLISHED: BRAIN, BEHAVIOR & IMMUNITY

The Autoimmune Brain Panel™ test results indicate Lyme disease may trigger an autoimmune dysfunction, as study findings indicate elevated neuronal autoantibodies may be associated with persistent symptoms.

Evaluation of the Panel in PANDAS and PANS

Evaluation of the Panel in PANDAS and PANS: Changes in antineuronal antibody titers parallel changes in patient symptoms

PUBLISHED: JOURNAL OF NEUROIMMUNOLOGY

Study findings support clinical utility of the antineuronal and cell-stimulatory assays comprising the Autoimmune Brain Panel™ as an aid in the diagnosis of an underlying autoimmune etiology in patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms.
