About this test

The autoimmune encephalitis panel (serum) detects antibodies in the blood that target brain proteins, commonly including NMDA receptor, LGI1, CASPR2, AMPA receptor, and GABA-B receptor antibodies, depending on the lab.

A normal result is negative.

A positive result supports a diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis, causing memory loss, confusion, psychiatric changes, seizures, sleep problems, and abnormal movements. Serum testing is especially sensitive for LGI1 and CASPR2, while NMDA receptor antibodies are better detected in CSF, so paired testing is ideal.

Some types are linked to tumors. Early diagnosis enables effective immunotherapy.
