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, histone H3 (neuroprotein-2), .beta.-tubulin (neuroprotein-3), neuroprotein-4, neuroprotein-5, and NP-9 antigen which may be used in such diagnostic methods.
