Clinical Information
Antiepileptic drugs (AED) are the mainstay of treatment for epilepsy, but seizures continue in one-third of patients despite appropriate AED therapeutic trials. The etiology of epilepsy often remains unclear. Seizures are a common symptom in autoimmune neurological disorders, including limbic encephalitis and multifocal paraneoplastic disorders. Seizures may be the exclusive manifestation of an autoimmune encephalopathy without evidence of limbic encephalitis.
Autoimmune epilepsy is increasingly recognized in the spectrum of neurological disorders characterized by detection of neural autoantibodies in serum or spinal fluid (CSF) and responsiveness to immunotherapy. The advent of more sensitive and specific serological detection methods is increasingly revealing previously underappreciated autoimmune epilepsies. Neural autoantibodies specific for intracellular and plasma membrane antigens aid the diagnosis of autoimmune epilepsy, but no single antibody is specific for this diagnosis.
Autoantibody specificities most informative for autoimmune epilepsies include leucine-rich glioma inactivated protein-1 (LGI1), glutamic acid decarboxylase-65 (GAD65), N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R), alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptors (AMPA-R), and gamma-aminobutyric acid type B receptor (GABA-B-R)Â antibodies.
Autoantibodies recognizing onconeural proteins shared by neurons, glia, or muscle (eg, antineuronal nuclear antibody, type 1 [ANNA 1]; collapsin response-mediator protein-5 neuronal [CRMP-5-IgG]; N-type calcium channel antibody), also serve as markers of paraneoplastic or idiopathic autoimmune epilepsies. A specific neoplasm is often predictable by the individual patient's autoantibody profile.
Suspicion for autoimmune epilepsy on clinical grounds justifies comprehensive evaluation of CSF and serum for neural autoantibodies. Selective testing for individual autoantibodies is not advised because each is individually rare, and a timely diagnosis is critical. Collectively, the antibodies tested for in the autoimmune epilepsy evaluations represent a broad spectrum of treatable disorders, some of which are associated with occult cancer. Testing of CSF for autoantibodies is particularly helpful when serum testing is negative, although, in some circumstances, testing both serum and CSF simultaneously is pertinent. Testing of CSF is recommended for some antibodies in particular (such as NMDA-R antibody and glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP]-IgG) because CSF testing is both more sensitive and specific. In contrast, serum testing for LGI1 antibody is more sensitive than CSF testing. Failure to detect a neural antibody does not exclude the diagnosis of autoimmune epilepsy when other clinical clues exist. A trial of immunotherapy is justifiable in those cases.

Neuron-restricted patterns of IgG staining that do not fulfill criteria for ANNA-1, ANNA-2, ANNA-3, PCA-2, or PCA-Tr may be reported as "unclassified antineuronal IgG." Complex patterns that include non-neuronal elements may be reported as "uninterpretable."
Note: CRMP-5 titers lower than 1:2 are detectable by recombinant CRMP-5 Western blot analysis. CRMP-5 Western blot analysis will be done on request on stored spinal fluid (held for 4 weeks). This supplemental testing is recommended in cases of chorea, vision loss, cranial neuropathy, and myelopathy. Call the Neuroimmunology Laboratory at 800-533-1710 to request CRMP-5 Western blot.
Interpretation
Antibodies specific for neuronal, glial, or muscle proteins are valuable serological markers of autoimmune epilepsy and a patient's immune response to cancer. These autoantibodies are not found in healthy subjects and are usually accompanied by subacute neurological symptoms and signs. It is not uncommon for more than 1 of the following autoantibodies to be detected in patients with autoimmune epilepsy:
-Plasma membrane antibodies (N-methyl-D-aspartate [NMDA] receptor; 2-amino-3-[5-methyl-3-oxo-1,2-oxazol-4-yl] propanoic acid [AMPA] receptor; gamma-aminobutyric acid [GABA-B] receptor). These autoantibodies are all potential effectors of dysfunction
-Antineuronal nuclear antibody, type 1 (ANNA-1) or ANNA-3
-Neuronal or muscle cytoplasmic antibodies (amphiphysin, Purkinje cell antibody-type 2 [PCA-2], collapsin response-mediator protein-5 neuronal [CRMP-5-IgG], or glutamic acid decarboxylase [GAD65] antibody)
A rising autoantibody titer in a previously seropositive patient suggests cancer recurrence.
Cautions
Negative results do not exclude autoimmune epilepsy or cancer.
This evaluation does not detect Ma2 antibody (also known as MaTa). Ma2 antibody has been described in patients with brainstem and limbic encephalitis in the context of testicular germ cell neoplasms. Scrotal ultrasound is advisable in men who present with unexplained subacute encephalitis.

Method Description
Cell-Binding Assay:
Patient specimen is applied to a composite slide containing transfected and nontransfected HEK-293 cells. After incubation and washing, fluorescein-conjugated goat-antihuman IgG is applied to detect the presence of patient IgG binding.(Package insert: IIFT: Neurology Mosaics, Instructions for the indirect immunofluorescence test. EUROIMMUN; FA_112d-1_A_UK_C13, 02/2019)
Indirect Immunofluorescence Assay:
The patient's sample is tested by a standardized immunofluorescence assay that uses a composite frozen section of mouse cerebellum, kidney, and gut tissues. After incubation with sample and washing, fluorescein-conjugated goat-antihuman IgG is applied. Neuron-specific autoantibodies are identified by their characteristic fluorescence staining patterns. Samples that are scored positive for any neuronal nuclear or cytoplasmic autoantibody are titrated to an endpoint. Interference by coexisting non-neuron-specific autoantibodies can usually be eliminated by serologic absorption.(Honorat JA, Komorowski L, Josephs KA, et al: IgLON5 antibody: neurological accompaniments and outcomes in 20 patients. Neurol Neuroimmunol Neuroinflamm 2017 Jul 18;4(5):e385. doi: 10.1212/NXI.0000000000000385)
Radioimmunoassay:
Duplicate aliquots of patient specimen are incubated with (125)I-labeled antigen. Immune complexes, formed by adding secondary (goat) antihuman immunoglobulin, are pelleted by centrifugation and washed. Gamma emission from the washed pellet is counted, and mean counts per minute (cpm) are compared with results yielded by high positive and negative control sera. Specimen yielding cpm higher than the background cpm yielded by normal human specimens are retested to confirm positivity and titrated as necessary to obtain a value in the linear range of the assay. The antigen binding capacity (nmol per liter) is calculated from the cpm precipitated at a dilution yielding a linear range value.(Griesmann GE, Kryzer TJ, Lennon VA: Autoantibody profiles of myasthenia gravis and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.

JAMA Neurol. 2015 Nov;72[11]:1304-1312. doi: 10.1001/jamaneurol.2015.2378)
Immunoblot:
All steps are performed at ambient temperature (18-28° C) utilizing the EUROBlot One instrument. Diluted patient specimen (1:12.5) is added to test strips (strips containing recombinant antigen manufactured and purified using biochemical methods) in individual channels and incubated for 30 minutes. Positive specimens will bind to the purified recombinant antigen and negative specimens will not bind. Strips are washed to remove unbound antibodies and then incubated with antihuman IgG antibodies (alkaline phosphatase-labeled) for 30 minutes. The strips are again washed to remove unbound antihuman IgG antibodies and nitroblue tetrazolium chloride/5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl phosphate (NBT/BCIP) substrate is added. Alkaline phosphatase enzyme converts the soluble substrate into a colored insoluble product on the membrane to produce a black band. Strips are digitized via picture capture on the EUROBlot One instrument and evaluated with the EUROLineScan software.(O'Connor K, Waters P, Komorowski L, et al: GABAA receptor autoimmunity: A multicenter experience. Neurol Neuroimmunol Neuroinflamm. 2019 Apr 4;6[3]:e552 doi: 10.1212/NXI.0000000000000552)
Western Blot:
Neuronal antigens extracted aqueously from adult rat cerebellum, full-length recombinant human collapsin response-mediator protein-5 (CRMP-5), or full-length recombinant human amphiphysin protein is denatured, reduced, and separated by electrophoresis on 10% polyacrylamide gel. IgG is detected autoradiographically by enhanced chemiluminescence.(Yu Z, Kryzer TJ, Griesmann GE, et al: CRMP-5 neuronal autoantibody: marker of lung cancer and thymoma-related autoimmunity.
