abstract = {Autoimmune psychosis may be caused by well-characterized
anti-neuronal autoantibodies, such as those against the NMDA
receptor. However, the presence of additional anti–central
nervous system (CNS) autoantibodies in these patients has
not been systematically assessed.MethodsSerum and
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with
schizophreniform and affective syndromes were analyzed for
immunoglobulin G anti-CNS autoantibodies using tissue-based
assays with indirect immunofluorescence on unfixed murine
brain tissue as part of an extended routine clinical
practice. After an initial assessment of patients with red
flags for autoimmune psychosis (n = 30), tissue-based
testing was extended to a routine procedure (n =
89).ResultsBased on the findings from all 119 patients,
anti-CNS immunoglobulin G autoantibodies against brain
tissue were detected in $18\%$ (n = 22) of patients (serum
$9\%,$ CSF $18\%)$ following five principal patterns: 1)
against vascular structures, most likely endothelial cells
(serum $3\%,$ CSF $8\%);$ 2) against granule cells in the
cerebellum and/or hippocampus (serum $4\%,$ CSF $6\%);$ 3)
against myelinated fibers (serum $2\%,$ CSF $2\%);$ 4)
against cerebellar Purkinje cells (serum $0\%,$ CSF $2\%);$
and 5) against astrocytes (serum $1\%,$ CSF $1\%).$ The
patients with novel anti-CNS autoantibodies showed increased
albumin quotients (p = .026) and white matter changes (p =
.020) more frequently than those who tested negative for
autoantibodies.ConclusionsThe study demonstrates five novel
autoantibody-binding patterns on brain tissue of patients
with schizophreniform and affective syndromes. CSF yielded
positive findings more frequently than serum analysis. The
frequency and spectrum of autoantibodies in these patient
groups may be broader than previously thought.},
