Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods of diagnosing peripheral neuropathies which comprises the steps of determining the titer of autoantibodies directed toward particular nervous system antigens. It also provides for substantially purified preparations of specific antigens, namely neuroprotein-1, neuroprotein-2, neuroprotein-3, neuroprotein-4, neuroprotein-5, neuroprotein-9 and histone H3 which may be used in such diagnostic methods.
Abstract:
Methods aiding in the diagnosis of certain neuropathies are disclosed, in which the titer of antibodies to a disulfated heparin disaccharide is assessed in a test sample from an subject. Also disclosed are apparatus and kits that can be used in the methods of the invention.
