Abstract excerpt
n-ELAV (neuronal-Embryonic Lethal, Abnormal Vision)-like genes belong to a family codifying for onconeural RNA-binding proteins, also called Hu antigens. Anti-Hu-antibodies (anti-Hu-Ab) are typically associated with paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis/sensory neuropathy (PEM/PSN), and low titres of anti-Hu-Ab were found in neural/neuroendocrine neoplasms, especially small cell lung cancer (SCLC). To date, few...
