The role of dendritic cells and their interactions in the pathogenesis of antibody-associated autoimmune encephalitis

Abstract Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is an inflammatory brain disease which is frequently associated with antibodies (Abs) against cell-surface, synaptic or intracellular neuronal proteins. There is increasing evidence that dendritic cells (DCs) are implicated as key modulators in keeping the balan...
