Cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and CD138+ plasma cells prevail in cerebrospinal fluid in non-paraneoplastic cerebellar ataxia with contactin-associated protein-2 antibodies
Journal of Neuroinflammation, 07/05/2012
Melzer N et al. – The authors confirm the association of contactin–associated protein–2 (CASPR–2) serum antibodies with cerebellar ataxia and provide the first evidence for a combined humoral and cellular immune response in this novel antibody–associated inflammatory central nervous system (CNS) disease.
