Diagnosis and pathophysiology of paraneoplastic and other antibody-associated disorders (except NMOSD and MOGAD) / Diagnostik und Pathophysiologie paraneoplastischer und sonstiger Autoantikörper-assoziierter Syndrome (außer NMO und MOG-EM)

Principal investigators / Projektleiter: Sven Jarius*, Brigitte Wildemann*

This project investigates the diagnostic and pathophysiological relevance of autoantibodies and B cells in diseases of the central and/or peripheral nervous system (paraneoplastic/idiopathic cerebellar ataxia, limbic encephalitis, Susac syndrome, etc.).

Independent projects are focusing on elucidating the role of autoantibodies against aquaporin-4 (NMO-IgG/AQP4-AK) in neuromyelitis optica (NMO) and related syndromes (see here) and to the role of autoantibodies against myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) in demyelinating diseases of the CNS (see here), respectively.

Gegenstand unserer Forschung ist die diagnostische und pathophysiologische Relevanz von Autoantikörpern und B-Zellen bei Erkrankungen des zentralen und/oder peripheren Nervensystems (paraneoplastische/idiopathische zerebelläre Ataxie, limbische Enzephalitis, Susac-Syndrom u.a.).

Eigenständige Projektbereiche sind der Rolle von Autoantikörpern gegen Aquaporin-4 (NMO-IgG/AQP4-AK) bei Neuromyelitis optica (NMO) und verwandten Syndromen (siehe hier) sowie der Rolle von Autoantikörpern gegen Myelin-Oligodendrozyten-Glykoprotein (MOG) bei demyelinisierenden Erkrankungen des ZNS (siehe hier) gewidmet.

Her research goals focus on the immunopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Other research interests are neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease/encephalomyelitis (MOGAD/MOG-EM), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), autoimmune encephalitis, and the pathogenetic mechanisms involved in the neuromanifestations of systemic diseases, such as rheumatological disorders and HIV/AIDS. She has authored/co-authored more than 250 peer-reviewed articles and numerous book chapters, has published as lead editor the Thieme standard textbook "Laboratory Diagnosis in Neurology", and is co-author of the German guidelines on MS, NMOSD, MOGAD/MOG-EM, of the German guidelines on CSF analysis, and of the National Recommendation for the use of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) in MS is in Germany. Brigitte Wildemann is also current president of the German Society for CSF Analysis and Clinical Neurochemistry (DGLN).
