ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to methods of diagnosing peripheral neuropathies by 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 can be used in such diagnostic methods.
