DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.1069368
Abstract: Detection of Leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) antibodies in patients with suspected autoimmune encephalitis is important for diagnostic confirmation and prompt implementation of immunomodulatory treatment. However, the clinical laboratory diagnosis can be challenging. Previous reports… read more here.
