Abstract: A method for diagnosing a disease can include detecting, in a sample from a patient, an autoantibody binding to Septin-7. A polypeptide comprising Septin-7 or a variant thereof can be used for the diagnosis of a disease. Preferably, the polypeptide is used to detect an autoantibody binding to Septin-7 in a sample. A kit is useful for the diagnosis of a disease. The kit may include a polypeptide that includes Septin-7 or a variant thereof or a medical device that includes a polypeptide that includes Septin-7 or a variant thereof and an autoantibody to Septin-7.

Abstract: A method can be used for detecting, in a sample, an autoantibody binding to a polypeptide having the sequence SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 11 or SEQ ID NO: 24. A carrier containing said polypeptide and an autoantibody binding to said polypeptide are useful. The autoantibody may be used for the diagnosis of a disease, and a method can be used for isolating an autoantibody binding to said polypeptide. The polypeptide and a kit containing said polypeptide are useful, and can be used for the manufacture of a kit or medical device. A method involves contacting a medical or diagnostic device containing said polypeptide with a buffered solution containing an antibody binding specifically to said polypeptide. A sample containing said autoantibody as a positive control and a diluted sample containing said autoantibody are useful.
