Detection and significance of glial fibrillary acidic protein antibody in autoimmune astocytopathy and related diseases

: Autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy (GFAP-A) is an antibody-related astrocytic disease for which a specific GFAP antibody serves as biological marker. Indeed, cerebral spinal fluid positive and/or seropositivity important basis its diagnosis. However, because patients with autoimmune encephalitis or demyelinating diseases can have similar profile, termed overlapping syndrome, it remains challenge clinicians to diagnose and suitably classify GFAP-A. To further understand the significance of detection in neuroimmune diseases, this article discusses antibodies GFAP-A, progress antibodies, diagnostic prototypical disease, well syndrome.
