Encephalitis and antibodies to synaptic and neuronal cell surface proteins

Abstract excerpt

The identification of encephalitis associated with antibodies against cell surface and synaptic proteins, although recent, has already had a substantial impact in clinical neurology and neuroscience. The target antigens are receptors and proteins that have critical roles in synaptic transmission and plasticity, including the NMDA receptor, the AMPA receptor, the GABA(B) receptor, and the glycine receptor.
