Journal ArticleDOI
Anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis: case series and analysis of the effects of antibodies
Josep Dalmau,Amy J. Gleichman,Ethan G. Hughes,Jeffrey E. Rossi,Xiaoyu Peng,Meizan Lai,Scott K. Dessain,Myrna R. Rosenfeld,Rita J. Balice-Gordon,David A. Lynch,David A. Lynch +10 more
TL;DR: A well-defined set of clinical characteristics are associated with anti-NMDA-receptor encephalitis and the pathogenesis of the disorder seems to be mediated by antibodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular and synaptic mechanisms of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis
Ethan G. Hughes,Xiaoyu Peng,Amy J. Gleichman,Meizan Lai,Lei Zhou,Ryan Tsou,Thomas D. Parsons,David A. Lynch,Josep Dalmau,Rita J. Balice-Gordon +9 more
TL;DR: These studies establish the cellular mechanisms through which antibodies of patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis cause a specific, titer-dependent, and reversible loss of NMDARs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of LGI1 as the antigen in limbic encephalitis previously attributed to potassium channels: a case series
Meizan Lai,Maartje G. Huijbers,Eric Lancaster,Francesc Graus,Luis Bataller,Rita J. Balice-Gordon,John K. Cowell,Josep Dalmau +7 more
TL;DR: The term limbic encephalitis associated with antibodies against voltage-gated potassium channels should be changed to limbicEncephalitisassociated with LGI1 antibodies, and this disorder should be classed as an autoimmune synaptic encephalopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibodies to the GABAB receptor in limbic encephalitis with seizures: case series and characterisation of the antigen
Eric Lancaster,Meizan Lai,Xiaoyu Peng,Ethan G. Hughes,Radu Constantinescu,Jeffrey Raizer,Daniel Friedman,Mark B. Skeen,Wolfgang Grisold,Akio Kimura,Kouichi Ohta,Takahiro Iizuka,Miguel A. Guzman,Francesc Graus,Stephen J. Moss,Rita J. Balice-Gordon,Josep Dalmau +16 more
TL;DR: GABA(B) receptor autoimmune encephalitis is a potentially treatable disorder characterised by seizures and, in some patients, associated with small-cell lung cancer and with other autoantibodies.
Journal ArticleDOI
AMPA receptor antibodies in limbic encephalitis alter synaptic receptor location
Meizan Lai,Ethan G. Hughes,Xiaoyu Peng,Lei Zhou,Amy J. Gleichman,Huidy Shu,Sabrina Matà,Daniel Kremens,Roberta Vitaliani,Michael D. Geschwind,Luis Bataller,Robert G. Kalb,Rebecca Davis,Francesc Graus,David A. Lynch,David A. Lynch,Rita J. Balice-Gordon,Josep Dalmau +17 more
TL;DR: The clinical and immunological features of a novel autoantigen related to limbic encephalitis and the effect of patients' antibodies on neuronal cultures are reported.
