Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It has been reported that a subset of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) has autoantibodies against neurofascin 155 (NF155). However, pathogenicity of the antibodies remains to be elucidated. In this study, we aimed to isolate pathogenic single chain variable fragments against NF155 to elucidate pathomechanisms of anti-NF155 antibody-positive CIDP. We constructed an immunoglobulin V-gene phage-display library from the immunoglobulin repertoire of a patient with anti-NF155 antibody-positive CIDP. Then several antigen-specific clones were isolated using a cell panning method.
