Article Title: An antineuronal autoantibody in paraneoplastic opsoclonus
Abstract: Sera from 7 patients with paraneoplastic opsoclonus were examined for antineuronal autoantibodies. An antibody against neuronal nuclei was found in serum from a patient with breast cancer, opsoclonus, and ataxia. This antibody recognized 53‐ to 61‐kDa and 79‐ to 84‐kDa antigens in immunoblots of neurons. Anti‐neuronal antibodies were not found in other patients with paraneoplastic opsoclonus.
