Abstract: The invention relates to methods of preventing or inhibiting the onset and/or treating autoimmune demyelinating neuropathy and other autoimmune or inflammatory diseases involving macrophage infiltration.

Abstract: The invention relates to detection and/or monitoring of inflammatory neuropathy using markers that specifically indicate the presence of inflammatory neuropathy, for example, allograft inflammatory factor 1 (AIF1), lymphatic hyaluronan receptor (LYVE-1), FYN binding protein (FYB), myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia, translocated to, 3 (MLLT3), purinergic receptor P2Y, G-protein coupled, 1 (P2RY1) or a combination thereof. According to the invention, skin biopsies can be used for assessing the expression of these markers.

Abstract: The subject invention provides an antigen characterized as having a molecular weight of approximately 68 kD, being reactive with autoantibodies associated with mental illness especially schizophrenia, being located in neuronal cells, and co-migrating with a protein band in SDS-PAGE which is recognized by rabbit antibodies which react with the peptide whose sequence is Ala-Lys-Xaa-Val-Lys-Phe-Gly-Ala-Asp-Ala-Xaa-Ala-Leu-Met-Leu (SEQ ID NO: 2). The invention also provides methods for detecting in a sample from a subject the presence of an antibody to the neuronal antigen, determining the propensity of a subject toward a psychiatric disease, diagnosing and treating a subject having mental illness.
