ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to methods of aiding in the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathies that comprise 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 and neuroprotein-5, which may be used in such diagnostic methods.
